I am in LOVE with this area rug!!! As other reviews have mentioned, the rug is a tight weave and flat - exactly what I like so much about it! (I’m realizing I don’t really like plush, fluffy carpets).   It works perfectly in my living room, the colors are muted and gorgeous. I did buy a .30” rug pad that makes it cushioned and comfortable to walk on.  I love this so much I bought another one for my basement. HIGHLY recommend!
