This rug is better than I had imagined. It is SO SOFT!!! Our carpet is really soft so I didnt want to get a coarse rug when our feet would feel better on the carpet. This rug is 10x softer than my carpet. It feels like a blanket on top but it has great structure. Great quality, especially for the price! Its a bright white and doesnt shed. Weve sat and played and laid all over it with no shedding. Overall, Im very happy with my purchase and would recommend it.
