Thin and cheaper quality but solid as it stays in place, not easily pulled etc and you get what you pay for. I like nice things on a budget so I'm happy and it's as expected. You may want a rug pad if you like cushion is all, I'm ok without. Design is distressed/vintage and colors are very nice and not bright/too loud, adds personality and depth to a room without being too intense. Can't wait to add more accents now that I've found the rug I've been looking for.
