The photos provided by others in reviews sold us on this rug, as it looked even better in photos shared than it did in the description. It didn't disappoint. It looks beautiful in our living room.  The colors are vibrant without  being gaudy. It is soft and comfortable to walk (with bare feet), sit and play on. The car and train tracks are raised, giving it a kind of 3-D effect but without compromising comfort. Our kids ages 4 years old and 5 months old absolutely love it, and so do we. The only reason we gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the underside of the rug doesn't have a strong enough grip on it, causing it to move around just a bit on our wood floor at times. We would prefer for it to stay in place a little better.
