This is a wonderful rug! It is soft and beautiful, and adds texture to a room. I put mine by my bed. It feels AMAZING on my feet in the morning when I get out of bed. The reason why I didn't give this 5 stars is because it is hard to clean, and as you can imagine (because it is ivory) picks up any dirt that is on your slippers/feet. However, I would still repurchase this in a heartbeat.
