I purchased this rug a few weeks ago and loved it as soon as I opened the package.  The nap is short and very plush, there is a wonderful finish on the edges - a very well-made product. Another immediate feature is that it rolled out perfectly without trying to roll itself back into the shape in which it was packaged.  I am so very impressed with the quality of this rug that we will be purchasing the same design in a larger size for our family room that adjoins the dining area of our home.  It is just perfect for our needs.
