Not as soft as I was hoping. The way it is pictured you would think it is extra fluffy. A shimmery shag as some other reviewers had described. Now sits in my son's room and hope it stands up to all of his ruff and tumble play. I should mention this was my third purchase from wayfair and it was a bit of a hassle. Had o call several times before it was shipped and deliver. All in all not totally thrilled about the look of it but it works/ serves it's purchase.
