Only reason i'm rating four stars is because shipping took over a week & carpet was pretty thin as other reviews stated. Highly recommend getting a pad if you want extra cushion, I have an active four year old who thinks having a carpet means protection from tile. Wrong! She still got hurt playing around because it wasn't cushioned enough.I will be ordering a pad asap. Other than that this carpet is beautiful and already gotten so many compliments. I want to buy a second one just to have it!
