I was absolutely surprised by the quality of this rug. I thought by the photo it would be more smooth but it's plush and shaggy. Not the ugly 70s kind of shag, but the comfortable plush kind that's soft to sit on. The colors are universal with any home decor. That's a big win for me so if I ever update my decor, this run will transition nicely. Its light and easy to move around but it won't skid on you when walk on it. I like that it's low maintenance too for cleaning up if there's spills or vacuum.
