This rug was beautiful in person. It's not heavy or thick so don't expect that but it's a nice quality and well made. On floors like tile/wood you may wish to put a slip proof mat under it. We didn't but if e had small kids that still run around a lot we would have for safety reasons. When it was first unpackaged the corners did fold in so we put books on each end for 24 hours at that did the trick. You can see in one of these images that you will likely need to do that at first. Overall this is a lovely purple rug at a great price.
