This area rug is extremely soft on feet. Color is great as well. However, it is the weirdest rug I have vacuumed. It is so hard to pull the vacuum on this rug. Also, any busy walking area will show after few months. I don't know if I will be able to clean it, but the most used area is already darker than the rest of the rug. I cannot recommend this rug because  people don't usually take off their shoes so this rug will get only dirtier and dirtier....it's a sort term investment.
