I was looking for an inexpensive carpet to cover a lot of open floor space and give my dogs some traction.  Because I have three dogs spending a lot of time in the space, I didn't want to invest in something that I knew would have a limited lifespan.  This carpet arrived quickly, and exactly as it appeared online.  Being one of the least expensive carpets that I could find that still matched my needs aesthetically, it's quite thin and lightweight, and has a very low pile, but it's doing what I need it to, at a price that won't make me feel badly about replacing it within the year.  The only real downside is that it's really holding on to the creases from being flattened sometime prior to arrival.

Pros: Excellent value, pleasing appearance
Cons: Chronic creases, thin
