Just received this rug a couple of days ago. It is really plush and cushy under your feet. So far it is pilling a lot but we figure that should stop after a couple of months. The colors are great as there are a lot of cool tones but also a lot of warm tones. As the Big Lebowski said "It really pulls the room together".  Don't expect a luxury rug but for the price it is pretty unbeatable. Oh and make sure to get a good quality rug pad.
