I'm a big fan of Chris Loves Julia and Loloi, so buying their collaborative effort was a no-brainer.  If you are looking for a plush, fluffy carpet, this is not for you.  This rug feels like a Ruggable, where it's very kid/pet friendly.  Spills are super easy to clean.  To make it feel more plush, definitely needs a carpet pad.  The print is beautiful in person and looks way more expensive than it is.
