This rug is not the material I was expecting, but it’s a good thing! I have two little toddlers and the pattern and lack of pile make this super durable. I expected low pile, but this is more no pile. It reminds me of one of those comfort mats you’d use in front of a kitchen sink. With a rug pad under it it’s very soft and cozy! We’re pleasantly surprised and the colors are a beautiful addition to our space
