The design of this rug is really cute for my grand children's playroom.  It's not that thick even though it's a shag but I ordered a rug pad to put under it.  I'm sure it will look and feel great!  Not moving for a couple of months so can't send an installed photo now.  All in all, I'm glad I didn't go with a thin washable rug. I think it will really brighten the room and tie in with furniture and art work.
