This rug looks lovely and has a beautiful pattern.  It is however an “untufted” rug, meaning there is NO pile - it’s almost like the top of the carpet looks like it’s the underside with just a flat weave image of the pattern.  I had to deduct one star because I don’t see anything about that in the description which could make for a very frustrating shopping experience for someone.  I ordered this rug for my son’s first apartment after he graduates from college this spring, so for my purposes it will work nicely and look great.  But if someone wanted a fluffy rug to lie around on this is not going to work for that.  It’s a great looking rug as a design element though.
