If I could give this 10 stars I would. I read hundreds of reviews on many sites to find the perfect rug for my baby's room. He is crawling all over and I needed something soft, but did not want to break the bank. I finally settled on this rug and was a little nervous not having felt it, but it exceeded my expectation. It is so super soft and the colors are just amazing. I did the 9 x 12 to cover the whole room and so glad I did. if you are nervous to buy a rug without feeling it I can assure you you will not be disappointed by this one!
