I bought this rug to go next to a guestroom that i'm decorating that is somewhat 'over the top'. It is the most amazing thing to put your feet on when you get out of the bed!  I put it on top of a shag rug which is on top of light hardwood floors. This helped soften up the overall room. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this rug. It was an amazing product for the cost. I have started going back and putting in my reviews hoping that they will help someone because i have relied heavily on the reviews with everything that i have bought as i have redecorated my guest bedroom.
