I LOVE this rug. It looks exactly like the real thing...can't tell  the  difference. Only maybe that it's softer to the touch. BUT - I'm giving only 1 star BECAUSE the site  recommended a pad under it when I ordered it. The pad arrived within the week, but the rug didn't show up for 2-3 months. When I tried the rug with the pad it looked awful...lifted the rug up off the floor by 1/8", making it look to thick and "fake", also creating a tripping hazard. When I called Wayfair they absolutely would NOT let me return it no matter what because it had exceeded the 30 day return policy. There was no way of knowing that it wouldn't work with the rug unless you tried it, and I couldn't try it because I didn't receive the rug until 2 months later! Bottom line is: If you buy this rug, DON'T buy the pad they recommend.  ($59.) Sorry to say that because they refuse to make an allowance for tis error, I will no longer order anything else from Wayfair.
