AWESOME RUG! I was looking for a sea-grass/type rug for our dinning room, as well as a runner for our hallway. The issue has always been how scratchy they are, but after reading reviews for this rug (some claimed it was softer than most), I took a risk and ordered it. I LOVE IT! It looks great and is totally tolerable on bare feet. I also have a 15 month old and she had no problem crawling/walking all over it. Great purchase!
