I was pleasantly surprised by the thickness of this rug.  From the picture, I thought this rug was going to be thinner, but I love the thickness and the expensive look that it has.  The rug has a lot of stretch to it, so it does not keep a perfect straight edge.  Personally, I like the organic look it has not being perfectly symmetrical and straight.  Also, one thing to keep in mind is that this rug does shed a little big.  The little fibers have been coming out but I was expecting that of this material.  Overall I am really happy with the quality of this rug and the great price!
