We purchased this rug after swapping our carpet for vinyl plank, and it made our living room much more cozy! The mid pile is just right for this space. It's a little tougher to vacuum than a low pile (and needs it almost daily with our big, black dog!), but not too bad. I added their premium snowflake rug pad underneath (not the default one recommended in the cart) and am glad I did. It's extra comfy to sit and lay on! Love the look, love the feel, would recommend!
