I was nervous about making a big purchase like this without seeing and feeling it first, but decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did because this rug is great! It's thick and well made and durable, which is great because we're using it for my daughter'a room. It is a little scratchy so I just throw a blanket down before sitting her on it. Great quality, great color! Completely satisfied and now looking into another rug for our dining room!
