Skeptical about the rug at first but im so glad I bought it! it is seriously plush and soft. it was a true white when i first unrolled it! the grey isnt as bold as it is in the pictures it is softer and very beautiful! originally got it for my sons nursery because it isnt a high traffic area but now its our favorite room in the house! we spend all his playtime rolling around and laying down on this rug. this is my first rug purchase ever and I couldn't be more happy! im not sure how thick rugs are supposed to be, this one is on the thin side but since we placed it on top of carpet you can hardly notice it.
