Very thin rug but I expected that since I read the other reviews. What no one mentioned was how the pattern can make you very dizzy! It wasn't just me- I asked my boyfriend and he agreed. I got the 9x12 size so perhaps a smaller rug won't be as nauseating to look at. I wanted to return it but would rather stick it in a room I won't be going into much than deal with the hassle of repackaging it and returning.
