I couldn't get over the incredible density of this rug! I wondered why it was so heavy. I had to really rangle the roll into the house. Almost had to get help. For a rug this size I expected it to be much lighter. Then when I unrolled it I saw why it was so heavy. The density of the pile is amazing. It has a deeper soft pile too. Seems like it's made to hold up in heavy traffic. Once I stood on it I didn't want to get off. Feels great on my feet. In addition to the weave it has a nice subtle but eye catching design with good color selection that gives it a very high end appeal. Love love love it and would buy it again! By the way...did I mention ... it is super thick.
