So happy with this. I’m using it in our living room, I like that it’s so durable and easy to keep. We like to snack with our kids so the vacuum and broom easily pick up mess, but also it hides things alright. Absolutely NOT soft or plush, it’s that outdoor rug feeling, but it’s not like it’s painful or sharp. The modern western design and colours were what sold me and still do. Softer carpets will come with more cleaning issues and hold more dust. Just my two cents )
