I really enjoy this rug, especially for its value. The first thing I noticed when I set it up is how soft the rug is under your feet. I don't expect that softness to last long with my animals, but its been about 2 weeks and its still a pleasant surprise. Personally, I think the colors stand out a bit more than the photos, which I appreciate. Also, the rug shipped extremely fast; I ordered it on Monday, it said it would be delivered by Saturday, it was at my door that Wednesday afternoon. Overall, I'm very happy with my rug so far.
