The rug is very soft and well-made, but I'm not liking it too much for a couple of reasons. It is water absorbent, but I have to say it takes a long time to dry. I actually put it in the dryer for 10 minutes to dry it. The chenille has a thick odd texture. I ordered the taupe to match the bathroom but it has a grey/beige tone to it that I don't care for.
