I love and hate the nap. I love the abstract design. Keep in mind the blue is a bit lighter in person. The reason I bought a higher nap is to counteract the lack of padding. What I didn't think about was that my vacuum (hoover) wouldn't be able to actually vacuum this rug. So, I'm keeping it because the cost was low and I don't want to deal with the hassle, hoping I will figure out a way to keep it clean (especially with dogs).
