This is my first rug purchase. I love it. It is exactly what I envisioned for my living room. I love the low profile and it is soft on bare feet. I bought the deluxe rug pad for underneath since I knew it was a thin rug and it gives it just the right amount of cushion. After spending ridiculous amounts of money on high end rugs over the years, (only to be ruined by kids or dogs) it’s nice to find affordable alternatives! I just ordered the matching runner for my adjoining hallway.
