Have hardwood floors and needed a rug to make the room pop and to give a cozy feeling to it.  This rug is beautiful and so soft.  My kids race to it to lie on it.  It's gotten them back into the living room to spend more time with us.  They love it.  I love how it feels on my toes.  It's shimmery is good quality.  I'm always afraid rugs will look cheap if I don't see them live before I buy, but this rug does not look cheap at all.  I'm very happy with it and am thinking about buying a larger one for another room.
