Exactly how I imagined and hoped it would be. The size is spot on to the measurements provided. The rug isn't soft like a sheepskin rug, but it is soft and has very thick pile. I love the little tag on the back detailing it's production number. It's  handmade as described and arrived all the way from Germany. It took longer to arrive than expected as the first rug was lost in transit, however the team at Wayfair couldn't have been more helpful and immediately dispatched a replacement to me when they were unable to track the original order. One very happy customer. I can't wait to put it in our new home!
