I wanted a light rug that would be versatile to work in an office that will eventually be turned into a nursery. I took a chance on this rug in the hopes that it would be as soft and plush as it looked in pictures and I am glad I did! The rug is incredibly thick and soft and stays put without a rug pad. The color is neutral but also bright and airy and would go best with other cool tones. I have several other high priced Safavieh rugs and I feel the quality of the Snowpeak rug is completely on par. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend!
