WOW this was a purchase for a young mans new apartment and it was SO MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED. It was soft and had a quality look to it. The size and description were as stated and the reviews on the rug helped me decide to purchase this 5x8 rug. It has a low shag to the pattern that makes it feel soft and it is as pictured but the pics make it look flat or like an outdoor rug, but it definitely was a focal point in his apartment. I would recommend and will be buying more from Wayfair.
