The rug itself is exactly what I wanted/expected. It didn't exactly go with the table I bought it for; but, that is my error. The rug is almost like carpet; unlike most area rugs that I've bought that are pretty thin and feel more scraggly than soft. This area rug is very soft and comfortable on the bare toes. The only real complaint I do have is that the rug didn't come packaged in cardboard or something more sturdy or protective than a plastic bag or wrap.
