This rug is perfect for our sitting room! The colors are right on for what was depicted in the listing, and it is delightfully soft. The pile on this rug is interesting in that it is soft, but almost has the texture of velvet, where it can feel like you rub it the "wrong way" if you push it a certain direction. However, this doesn't really bother me, as you can't see it, and I only noticed it when I was shuffling back and forth on the carpet to try to smooth out the kinks from where it was rolled up. All in all, it's a great rug!
