I rarely write reviews, but thought it might help someone else thinking about ordering this rug. I wanted a pretty, light grey, soft, washable rug and this is it. I ordered 2 other rugs from other stores prior to this one but had to return them. This rug is extremely soft. It is a little bit thin, but it has to be to be machine washable. I put it over a thicker rug pad to give it a little bit more cushion.
