This rug is exactly what i was looking for...classic design with bold colors. The deciding factor between this and a few others was the fringe...it adds such a nice touch! The rug adds fun color to my yellow sun room and ties in our gray green furniture. The rug arrived before it's scheduled delivery date in perfect condition and just needed a little fussing with to flatten out the corners. It's soft but not thick and cushy, which I am happy about because my cat's claws often get caught in fluffier rugs. If you are looking for some extra cushion I would order a pad to go underneath but we are happy without one in our room. I would purchase from this company again-great rug at a great price!
