The rug is very, very well made.  No issues with quality at all.  I wasn't expecting it to be as bright as it is, so, if you have a room that needs a lot of color, this is a terrific buy. (My husband loves the bright colors a bit more than I do, so, instead of the rug going in my office, it's now going in his.) The quality of the rug has stood up to our German Shepherds, who, for whatever strange reason, periodically decided to dig to China through this rug.  The rug is winning so far ...  :)  For humans, the texture is soft ... :)
