I'm obsessed with the look and feel of this rug and happy that I waited so long to purchase. I needed a price drop to fit into my budget and oh boy does this rug not disappoint. The hue of blue I chose is stunning, providing a rich sheen that isn't overpowering but looks "cozy" as one friend put it. The feel of the rug is as soft as described by the company and it's plush enough not to need a rug pad if you have heavy furniture that sits on top of it.
