This was listed as "a soft, inviting surface to walk on." Unfortunately, it's not all that soft and we are disappointed in the quality. You can see the underlying structure (it's white) compared to the yarn. Definitely not happy with it. It's now relegated as a bedroom, under-the-bed-so-it-can't-be-seen-all-that-much, rug instead of the living room rug we'd hoped for.
