Very happy with this rug so far. It arrived much sooner than I originally expected, which was awesome. My husband wanted a long, plush pile for the area rug in our living room, but I liked the price and design of this rug too much not to buy it. Although the carpet does have a short pile, it is quite thick and soft to the touch. The colors vary a bit from the photo (the one I received has more blue tones), but I don't mind because it still goes with the overall look of the room.
