Very soft and good quality rug. The colors are wonderful. Will definitely keep. However, the rug emits a lot of off-gassing that limits it's immediate use (the reason I took off one star). It smells the entire room and into the hallway. I had to remove my baby from the room because I'm not think it was safe for my baby to be in the room while the gas dissipated. It takes days (nearly a week) for the smell to be bearable.
