I LOVED this carpet! Very soft and perfect as a center piece for my livingroom. Completed my beach theme! It needed the rubber gripping under the carpet as it slid extremely easy on my wood floor. That was a simple buy and easy fix. Only issue is that if something spills or gets the carpet wet in any way it ruins the carpets shape. I actually had to throw it out in the end because hand washing it ruined the shape. It crinkled the edges and looked horrible. So if you have kids and people walk on it a lot or what not dont take care of it yourself. Get a professional cleaning company or dont buy it.
