This rug is a favorite for everyone in my house.  I have small children and they both love walking barefoot through it and playing on it.  The rug is very plush, thick, and soft.  The colors are perfect for our home, they gray print has a little boho vibe to it, which I love but it pairs with our classic and comfy leather sofas as well.  I am using it over hardwood floors without a pad under it and find it to be soft enough.  This rug is worth every penny, it’s stylish, comfy, and durable for family use.  I already want another one for our playroom!!
