This rug is thin but nice.  It is similar to a sizel rug, one that's woven...not a carpet type rug.  It's super thin but that's ok for us because we are using it under our dining room table.  It's very light because it's so thin.  I do like the pattern and colors.  Very subtle and subdued.  The larger size is fantastic!  My pups love having more area they can tear around or lay on. It came well packaged and quickly!
