these are excellent rugs! They have loops and are very plush. The reason  I gave it only three stars is I bought the 8' round and two runners. Only two of the three rugs matched. Called and they sent me a new runner. Now I have THREE runners that don't match. Keeping only the two that match because they can't guarantee  that a new one will. I'm disappointed that I only have two rugs. One runner has bright colors, the second is salmon and the third is pink/burgundy.  If you only need one go for it but you take a chance if you need two to match.
