For the price, this carpet really is nice. Its soft underfoot and the color is very deep and pretty. I would like to stress that you'll need a good pad under it, once I layed it down on the new pad it felt very soft and comfy. Even my furbabys were rubbing themselves on it, which of course made me think of purchasing another in a different color! It also vacuumed well, no loose fibers. I'm happy with this purchase.
