This is a great rug! I had almost talked myself out of it between the time I ordered it and when it arrived because I thought it wasn't going to be as high a pile as I was going for. It turned out great, though, and it was a good buy. I was also concerned when I first unwrapped it from the box that it would be too white. The winter white is more white than the picture shows (the picture almost makes it look like a cream color), but it actually works in my space really well. I'm happy with this purchase!
