The rug is very thin.  I personally felt like the overall review score on Wayfair must have been biased somehow.  I appreciated the help from customer service to get a rug pad at a  discount, but this rug is definitely NOT a $400 nice rug.  It is cheap and thin.  Looks okay though.

UPDATE: after being out on floor for 2 days it has strings that are coming unraveled. I got this rug to improve safety for baby and it is very disappointing.
