I was so pleasantly surprised when I unrolled this rug. It isn’t thick pile but when you stand on it it feels very soft. I can immediately tell the difference in quality from the rug it replaced. It doesn’t really move when you walk on it and I don’t have a rug pad underneath. It will go in our nursery right in front of the crib. The design is a little too worn on one side for me personally but it doesn’t affect the rug in any way.
