I kept going back to this rug n would look around at other rugs getting an idea for grandson's play room n when I made my decision to purchase this rug, I am so glad I did. The colors are beautiful, fibers incrug is soft to the touch. It lays flat n is very good quality. I'm looking forward of get on the rug n start teaching my grandson his ABCs, numbers, seasons n all the educational elements that come with such a awesome learning fun tool to enhance a child's mind. I would Highly recommend this rug for any person excited to teach our next generation their education n making a fun time while they learn.
