Loved the colors.  Looks great in our front room.  The pile is high like a shag but it is not thick.  You will need a pad under it if you want to have cushion from the rug like you get from carpet.  When you step on the rug there is no cushion, we bought a carpet pad and cut it to the rug size.  Now it is like stepping on carpet instead of a door mat that is fuzzy.
