Much nicer than I expected. If I didnt have a doggo who was unsteady on bare wood floors I wouldnt have a rug. I  prefer thin rugs to those finer loomed rugs (I know, I know). This is not as thin and flat as other printed washable rugs. It is sturdy and has some cushion to it.  The cushiony feel is because of the bottom layer - not because of a pile. Its comfortable to step on. I liked the classic pattern with the brighter teal blue center accent. Its darker than I hoped for. The color on the edges appears black maybe because of my lighting or it actually is. - I hoped from the photos it would be a brighter blue. Unrolled it and it lay perfectly flat immediately.
