Unfortunately SO disappointed in this rug. My friend has this exact same rug and when I saw it available in a square I was SO excited bc it’s simply gorgeous. There was more than just a size downgrade from rectangle to square- the quality took a step down as well. Hers feels soft, expensive and has almost no pile where as mine is just no where near the same quality material. It feels and looks cheap, and the pile is different even though it’s advertised the same. In terms of the material it’s almost like there are little specs of shimmer throughout if that makes any sense- I feel like it’s a tell of those cheap brand rugs. Plastic-y thread, not sure. It’s not an intended effect. Eventually we compared the tags and there was a SLIGHT difference in the material content.
