I bought this rug in the 8x10 size in pink for my daughter's nursery. It looks flat-weave-ish in the pictures online, which I would have been happy with especially considering the price. When the rug came I was shocked at the quality of it and how much more substantial it is than a standard flat weave. It is such a beautiful rug and you cannot beat the price, especially considering the quality! I have gotten so many compliments, I just hope I can find more like it!
