The rug is very pretty and I am extremely happy with its look. Many reviews said it was soft and thicker than expexted. I feel it is average. Not super soft but still nice. I also was disapointed in the creases when we unrolled it. It is three days later. The rug has started to lay down but creases are still there. I may drag it out on my driveway to lay in the sun for a day. It is August in Georgia. I am hoping that works because I do love the look and it looks great with my sea salt walls.
