This is a good rug for the price. The colors are darker than they looked in the pictures and the pattern looks less faded and more splotchy as a result. It's fine though, it will work in our family room. It's not what I would call soft but its not uncomfortable either. I'm not going to send it back but I probably would not have bought it if I had seen it in person. The quality is good, I just don't like it as much as I thought I would.
