I am so enjoying my recent rug purchases. This particular one is so soft.  I keep walking on it to admire its beauty and feel and the color brightens up my living room! I had wondered how the edges would look and am pleased how well the binding is hidden. I am glad Wayfair suggests rug pads as they are a nice, comfortable addition (and easy to cut to be 2" shorter on all sides). This rug looks and feels high quality for a wonderful price! I am looking to purchase a 9' diameter round rug from Wayfair next!
