Super cute rug. The material is soft and not itchy. I was worried it would be rough and itchy with bare feet but it's nice under the feet. Only reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because you can't vaccum the rug normal and t needs to be professionally cleaned, (and it comes really dusty and fibers fall off easily) and some areas the jute knots come out pretty easily. Like if there is a chair or table on the rug. Like what we have. Overall tho- it's the exact look I wanted and I am happy with my purchase.
