Great versatile rug, love the pattern! It is not the softest under your feet or to lay on to play with your kids (it's rough & wiry), but for a space like under a dining table or where you just need to break up the hard floor pattern, it is perfect. Definitely needs a gripping mat beneath it, as it is basically the same texture on both sides and will slide without one. For my staging business it is ideal as its easy to roll up, fold and move on your own as it is not as heavy as other rugs.
