We needed a plush area rug to use in our living room since we have a soon to be crawling baby on our hands. I was hesitant to buy a rug without feeling it but so many reviews raved about how plush it was so I took a chance. Im so glad I did! It was a great price for a large rug and will be so comfy to play on the floor with my baby! I wish I could do 4.5 stars. While it is plush, I wouldnt mind if it was a little thicker. I know we can put a pad underneath, but it was tough enough getting it under the couch that we had to skip it!
