Looks nice. There are sticks and natural twigs, I guess I would call them, that make up the inside of the rug. Some had worked their way out and stabbed me when I walked barefoot. Over the week or so I have have owned this rug I've been pulling the ones I find out and rarely get stabbed anymore. So I got that going for me. My wife said to give it 3 stars, but she's never been stabbed by it.
