Please ignore the mess! LOVE this rug, it’s so soft and the colors are beautiful. We had a wool rug here before and it just would not stop shedding so I had to plug the plug and make a change - so happy I did! This rug is so soft for my littles to play on and a lot more comfortable for everyone in general. Very true to the photos in my opinion. We went with the 9x12 in size and it flattened out within a day!
