I've always wanted a "so soft you want to sleep on it" type rug and this is it! My sister in law made snow angles on it the first time she came over! Reviews have said it's slick, this is true. With socks on, I don't dare run across it. Reviews said the picture is deceiving-- but  the title says it's silver, which is true. Reviews said it would shed, eh, I've had maybe 1 or 2 pieces come off. Everyone who has stepped into my home has gasp because it looks amazing. It also looks expensive. I love it!
