This is a very low-pile carpet, which is exactly what I was looking for in my baby's bedroom. The lower the pile, the easier to clean! The colours are beautifully soft and calming, and the border is a good quality weave. When I first unrolled it, it was filled with creases from shipping, but it flattened out on its own in about a week's time. I have had this rug for over a year, and I still love it every time I walk in my little girl's room!
