This pile on this rug was higher than I expected but I still liked it; however, it does not have a soft fluffly feel. Maybe a carpet pad would help with this. It was too small for the area I planned for but I 'll use it in another room. The color is off white and balances well with my dark sofa. This is the second rug I bought from Wayfair and so far, impressed. I expected to have some foreign odor from the manufacturer but both rugs were odorless the packaging intact upon arrival. 

Nice utility area rug
Less than soft material
