We love this rug. Took a chance with it and was slightly worried about the printed pattern, but it looks lovely. I wish the horizontal stripes were a little less bold but I think they’ll fade well. It’s super soft and thick, feels like it has some built in foam padding to it. We got rid of a more expensive ruggable because it offered no comfort, this is a night and day difference. We find our cats sleeping on it all the time. This is our second ChrisLovesJulia rug and I’ve been impressed with both.
