This rug is truly beautiful, especially in person. I usually prefer hand-knotted rugs but this was for my toddler daughter’s room and I absolutely loved the design and that it wasn’t as pricey. What sold me were the reviews saying how soft the rug is. It really is so soft—my kids want to roll around on it all day and read their books on it and so on and so on. It has been such a big hit and I am very pleased!
