This looks beautiful in our master bedroom.  Very neutral and looks beautiful with our hardwood floors and mid-century West Elm furniture.  The flat weave isn't the softest - but does not feel like an outdoor rug.  I was concerned the first couple days of the quality (we thought our dog pulled up a couple of the fibers) but after I cut them, we don't see any other threads.  Even said, I would be concerned if he tried to 'dig' into the carpet.  Would probably not recommend for someone with cats - I think they would destroy it.
