The fabric was verrry thin-more like a 1/4" vs. the claim of 1/2".  Regarding other reviews that it was very soft-not really.
Also, the picture of the pattern in the picture was reverse of what I received. The corner on the top right of the picture turns out to be the corner on the top left when I received. I was counting on placing the rug based on the pattern as pictured. 

Overall, it serves its purpose, but I thought it was VERY expensive based on the quality of the rug and the supposed huge discount I received resulting in a price of Approx. $200.
