This rug is beautiful and very soft. It does pill so will need vacuumed several more times. The only down side is that the darker colors are much lighter than depicted in the photo. The inner dark green circle and the dark blue circles are hardly visible. Primarily you can only see the large designs, which are still nice, but it was a little disappointing since it wasn't as the photo showed. I do like it though and ordered another in the blue color for a different room.
