I needed a cheap area rug to protect my family room carpet from my pets.  This serves the purpose.  If you are looking for a mid to high end heavy, plush carpet this is not the one.  It's thin, stiff and not at all plush.  I've vacuumed the rug several times and the pile does not even stand up, it's flat.  It also has not yet flattened out, still has bumps from being rolled.
