I bought this rug in a 5' round for my son's room. He really wanted a big red dot for a rug.  And this was perfect. Its really shaggy, and pretty soft, which he liked.  It is a little on the thin side, thinner than I expected.  The base of the rug is pretty much a piece of fabric.  I did use a rug pad underneath to hold it in place, if not it would slide all over and the edges would turn over every time you walk on it.  For the price, for a kids room, its a great buy.
