I was hesitant to buy a washable rug, but we do have a new puppy, so after reading positive reviews, I decided to try it and Im so glad I did. It is actually sooo soft! I love walking on it! Its thin but still has cushion to it! Its mind blowing that it feels better than my old rugs. I layered it with a jute rug (also ordered from here) instead of a rug pad. You could skip it but I wanted a thicker feel and love the layered rug look. These are my all time favorite rugs now! Ill tell everyone to buy these rugs. Oh, and the color is just like the pictures. Its perfect for pulling my living room together!
