Love genuine grass rugs like these. Yes, it is a little rough under foot; however, it's extremely durable and doesn't bother me at all. Looks great in my den, and It's very well made. Just a bit of caution, the grass smelled a little strong when I first laid it out on my floor. This is normal. It will subside in a week, and you'll never notice. Would definitely purchase this fabulous rug again. Hope this helps.
