I love this rug! I purchased the 7’6” X 9’6”. It was delivered rolled up and flattened out very quickly. It has more cream and blue making it lighter than what I expected but I still think it’s dark enough and has enough pattern to hide dirt being tracked in. It’s soft but not very cushioned. If your wanting something that kiddos can lay on and be more comfortable then I would suggest getting a cushioned non slip rug pad (this is what our plan is). It’s a great contrast from our dark wood floor. Seems to be a great rug. I would definitely recommend!
