This rug is absolutely gorgeous! The colors are VIVID!! It actually looks like a crafted, hooked rug and the colors are super bright. It is very thick and comfortable. I am using it in my daughters nursery and she loves looking at all the colors in the circles. Be gentle vacuuming it, but it seems really sturdy and has shed only a few pieces of fabric. I will buy another when it goes on sale again. LOVE IT!
