My girls love it. I read reviews beforehand and I understand what people mean when they say about it being not very soft! Feels like it would cause a friction burn! 
It also came with a couple of pulls that I cut off and a strange mark on the underside. Things things didn’t impact on the rug itself but just a bit weird for something new.
But like I said my girls love it and I think it will be helpful learning some ABC’s )
