This is a really nice and useful rug.  I read the reviews prior to purchase and appreciate the feedback shared.  Honestly, I bought this area rug for the dog!  He insisted on resting on my rug I bought from this site two weeks ago, of which he is banned from because it's my rug.  So now, he is like a happy camper on his own rug.  Nice design.  Comfy on my bare feet, not cozy, just comfy.  One caveat which could have lowered the score to 4 stars, but since it is not directly related to the product itself, points are not taken off, was the plastic packaging it was delivered in was wide open and unsealed on one end.  I was dismayed when I first saw it arrive in that form.  However, the rug was not damaged.
