Some reviews called this rug “plush” others called it “thin.” I was curious as to how it could be both. The yarn of the pattern is higher than the background, so I guess that’s where the plushness comes in. I bought a rug liner to give it more substance. I wanted the rug to go with my new armchair which is a champagne color. I wouldn’t call the pattern of the rug “brown” because the fibers have a sheen on the edges, which mixed with the pure white background leans towards gold, to my eyes. I bought the 6” round. I feel like I’m in the Oval Office. It’s pretty regal. I just hope I can keep it clean - can’t believe I bought a white rug, but it does brighten up the room.
