Excellent rug! We have had it for about 1 month now. It is thick, plush and soft like other Reviewers have said. When you push the pile apart it is densely woven and the backing cannot be seen. I wanted it for a bedroom with existing terra-cotta color floor tiles and freshly painted tan walls that give the room a south-western feel. The bedroom furniture is black. This rug goes perfectly! It ties in the colors of the walls and the floor and contrasts nicely with the black twin bed and bedside table. It flattened out easily-no need to lay weights on the edges. No fluff came off with vacuuming. Very happy with this purchase! Would buy again. Delivery was prompt-it even arrived a day early.
