Waited awhile for this to be back in stock, so glad I did! The colors are so bright and cheerful. The shag doesn't feel very thick, but with the rug pad it feels just perfect. The smell it emits is still a little strong but I'm sure it will fade in a few more weeks. The fringes add character although I would prefer them to match the rug a little closer, like green and pink. (They are pink and light blue.)
