I got it because the reviews stated this rug was " plush", "soft", "very soft". That is the only reason I purchased this. It is absolutely not even in the slightest bit soft or plush. It is stiff. Very stiff. The threads aka "fluffy soft" material feels like thinish twisted pink rope. And you can see the bottom of the rug base through the stiff not soft threads that lay flat down to the side. My regular carpet is much more softer with more life in it. And I refuse to return it having to pay 10 dollar shipping-.- Not sure what I'll use this rope rug for :/
