I bought this rug for my son's nursery because I wanted something to put on top of the carpet that would be really soft for him to crawl/play on. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't as soft as other reviewers mentioned. I love the pattern and it looks great in the room, however in the picture it looks like it is bright white and gray, but really it is off-white. Shipping was unbelievably fast- it came earlier than the expected delivery date! I will be keeping the rug because it still looks great even though it wasn't exactly what I was expecting!
