The design of the rug is gorgeous! Pleased with its size and pile height. It's soft under my feet, but not very cushy. One draw back of the rug was the color and I was very disappointed to see it was more of a grayish or powder blue than the teal/ turquoise color that was pictured. I knew it might be a slightly different shade,  but this is a completely different color. If it weren't such a hassle,  I'd have sent it back,  because I had plans to decorate my living room with teal  not baby blue.  For this reason  I cannot give a higher rating.
