The rug is very nice and soft! It’s a really nice accent to our living room but Like others have said, it’s smaller than anticipated. Yes, I checked the dimensions and read the reviews but I didn’t need a specific size so I’m fine with it. It IS 5’3” like it states but that’s from the longest point to the longest point. Not a deal breaker for me but I took off a star because I thinks it’s way over priced and also I paid 20 extra shipping to have it in 2 days and it was LATE! I should have been refunded the extra shipping
