Nice rug, but as many other buyers have said- it has a dirty look to it even when it's freshly cleaned. Kind of strange. It's like brown-ish fibers work their way to the top to make it appear dirty? Altogether, it's cute and looks nice in my daughter's nursery, but I have definitely noticed the same as many others. Not the softest material, I still put a blanket down for her to play on the floor.
