I purchased this rug for my sons room, which I have decorated in neutral grays and whites. Although there was some confusion regarding the shipping (tracking was showing item had not left the warehouse when it actually had), the rug arrived on its scheduled day and looks amazing in his room. It is nice and plush and soft enough that I can lay my son it and not worry if the fibers are scratching him. My only complaint, although I know that most rugs come this way, is that it has an odor that has not gone away even though we have had this rug for 2+ weeks now. I am going to clean the rug tomorrow with a rug cleaner, hoping that it will get rid of the scent. It is quite strong, we leave the windows and door open when he sleeps in there because it is so strong.
