Shaggy and soft rug that you can actually vacuum.  Rug pad is necessary if you plan on laying on the floor and playing with children or animals.  Also firm rug corner stickers help from heavy traffic corners start down.  Great for the price!  Color is more blue grey than neutral grey which goes with our new couch but clashes with grayish green wall color so we will need to repaint our walls but buying grey online is always tricky.
