Very happy with the purchase of this area rug. It came as described / expected with a nice soft and thick shag to it. It is very comfortable to walk on also. I did purchase a good quality padding for the rug too. This has added to the comfort and feel of the rug itself. It is very warm on those cold winter nights. I enjoy the look and color of this rug also. I have to say I would have no issues purchasing the same area rug in the future if I was looking to buy another shag rug.
