The first thing I want to say about this rug is that while I thought the lion was utterly adorable in the picture, upon removing my rug from the box upon arrival, I immediately realized that the picture on amazon really didn’t this cute little lion face justice. It really is that great. I ordered mine in blue sienna, which is a nice grayish blue shade. Although it could certainly be used as a bath mat, it’s so soft and thick that it seems more like a rug to me. I have mine on the floor in front of my wood rocking chair where I think it looks appropriately homey. The rug is of extremely good quality and I consider it to be a true bargain for the price. I would have very willingly have paid $35.00 for it without hesitating.
