This is a magnificent large area rug. It has a short pile and it has a very pretty modern green color with accents of orange yellow and versions of blue its really pretty and it looks really nice and it looks expensive. The back of the rug has a nice texture that will benefit from having a pad. I love it because it actually coordinates with all of the neutral colors in my home and I plan to keep it in my living room for now and maybe later Ill move it to my den is just absolutely lovely and gorgeous and now that were up on Spring and the feature near feature is going to be what brings up my room and make it look really spring like. I am so happy so delighted and it was well packaged securely packaged to the way to where no moisture or any dirt could get to it. And this will be very easy to clean I know it will be because Ive already vacuumed over just to see how it handle being vacuumed on the low level and it works great it didnt get dirty or anything but you know
