The rug is a beautiful color with a vintage feel, and was just the right pile height, which was important for the space, as we have placed it in our master bathroom and needed our shower door to be able to easily open over the rug. It is a very thin rug, so for other situations, you would likely want a rug pad underneath it, but it's just right for us. We are VERY happy with the lurched and the price was the cherry on top! Excellent value for the price!
