This rug is fantastic. It's exactly what I pictured. The shag in the rug is great for adding a soft place to land for our kids on movie nights in the living room but not too shaggy. It's soft and a vibrant blue color. This was the missing piece to our living room. So glad I took a chance on an affordable rug. It IS worth it to get the non-slip pad for underneath as the rug hasn't moved at all.
