Very cute rug! It’s got zero pile. It has some sort of non slip backing right on it which is nice. It came all folded up which I’m not used to with rugs. So it seems like it’s having a hard time flattening all of the way. I think rolling it lengthwise would have been better for shipping purposes. It’s very thin so don’t buy it if you’re looking for anything lush or to help with sound proofing.
