This rug was better than. expected! We needed a large rug but didn't have a large budget, but was not going to sacrifice on style. it's soft and the colors are beautiful (boyfriend approved as well) also great with pet hair, vacuums like a charm. You might want to consider a rug pad if you are on wood floors, we didn't get one and it was large enough to be stabilized by furniture, but if you went for the smaller size you would need one. I love this brand now and am considering a new rug in the living room from them. Get the rug!! you won't regret it.
