The rug is very soft, thick and looks beautiful. I am not a fan of the color in person. I have had it for about two weeks now and I have to agree with the many other reviews it sheds horribly. So please be prepared to have little fibers all over your socks, long trousers and anything that happens to come in contact with the rug. Four stars - delivery was quick, the rug is extremely soft(like walking on clouds), color not what I expected but I can work with it. Definitely lost a star for the amount of shedding it has on a daily basis.  Overall I would recommend at a slightly lower price point.
