I'm all about the value for the dollars, and this rug is a quality purchase for not a lot of money. We're using it in a bedroom with hardwood floors to give a bit of softness under foot around our king-size bed. It is almost 1/4 inch thick - not too thin but not too thick either. I also like the gray color scheme because it goes with almost everything. The only thing I wish was different is if the colors were lighter - more of a tone on tone - and the design was a bit more blurred (like others Wayfair offers). The rug looks a bit lighter in color online than in person. Still, if you're looking for a short-pile gray rug, I highly recommend this one.
