This rug is surprisingly soft to the touch and feels great on the feet when you walk on it. It is fairly thing but I expected that due to it's low pile nature and because it is a low pile rug, it is easy to throw in the wash and clean which for me is a huge win since my kids are forever spilling things on the floor and as much as I would like to prevent them from doing so, it is unavoidable in my household. The colors are beautiful as well and will look great in my living room once I replace the old couches that are begging to be discarded. The abstract design on it lends itself to just about any decor which is great if I ever decide to change things around. Overall, this is a pretty nice rug for the price.
