Looks good, it’s much thinner than what the photos represent, so you will NEED to buy a pad if this is going to be anything other then a decor piece for a guest living room. The reason for low star reviews is because although it looks good, it very much unravels quickly and that’s with excellent care. You will see strings like this everywhere. I would not purchase again, the price point for a 9ft rectangular was 589, for the quality it’s more of a 300 price point. Owned for less than a month, too much trouble to return, so I will update review once this is carpet is fully unraveled beyond usage which I assume will be within a year or so. Used in our main living room space with 2 kids.
