We really like this rug. its very soft to the touch and lays nicely on our concrete floor. The colors are subtle and yet enough to give our room a splash of blue and orange mixed in with all the natural colors. Our roomba vacuum has no problems with the fringe at each side, which is a plus for us(we really like our roomba vacuum). If you are wanting more cushion I would recommend that you buy one of wayfairs rug pads for underneath it, because this is a very low profile rug at only 0.25" pile height.
