While it was a little difficult to see the actual height of this rug, I was amazed at how tall, fluffy, and super soft it was!  The quality seems great so far (had it one week now).  I love walking on it for it's awesome comfortableness.  I used the pad recommended, which is best for wood floors with polyurethane finishes.  The color was as described - ivory (but not too yellow).

Pros: Softness
Cons: Would have liked instructions included in packaging for how to vacuum; there were none.
