I am pleasantly surprised at how nice this rug is.  Before buying I research online and in stores.  I read the reviews for all the rugs and decided on this one.  WOW!  This rug is really nice.  Very plush.  So much thicker than what I expected.  It is beautiful.  It is not a bright white but a rich soft white.  I paired it with the recommended rug pad and it is definitely soft and great to walk on.  Very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend.
