We bought the rug for our daughter. This is her first year teaching. She is a 2nd grade teacher. My wife is a teacher too and helped her set up her room. The rug is in her room. The kids go to the rug everyday and is used as their reading rug. It holds 22 kids. It should become a memory they will have in their own lives. The rug is the highlight of the room. Everyone comments on how bright and exciting the rug is. The parents have loved the rug too. My daughter is enjoying it and so are the kids. Hopefully the kids will become life long readers because of their memories of their reading on the rug.
