I looked for too long for a small cozy rug for beside a bed- so I went ahead and purchased this one. I should of known better that the price was an indication of the quality. It’s very very average. It’s not plushshag AT ALL. It’s thin  not soft under your feet. I purchased a rubber backed thick pad which has helped. The pattern  color are as pictured and attractive. When you run your hand over it- you can see the rug backing- many areas with no fibers at all. That’s what makes this not a shag! Far too less fibers. 
Not annoyed enough to send it back- so I’m keeping it.
