## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite
*by S***G on April 15, 2025*

This is one of my favorite things in our house. The color is amazing! It’s soft and beautiful. I love the style. I get a ton of compliments on it. We did put a1/2 inch thick rug pad under it due to the fact we have a grandchild learning to walk and just thought it would be better and make it a little thicker for falls. Would definitely buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I was looking for!
*by P***C on May 22, 2013*

I don't usually write reviews, but since there is hardly anything out there on this rug, I thought someone else might benefit from the info I was searching for. I was on the hunt for a new rug for our play room, and this rug is exactly what I was looking for! With twin toddlers and 7 year old big sis, I spend LOTS of time on the floor playing. I was looking for something soft and comfortable, yet durable too. This rug fits the bill in every way!1) It's the perfect off-white color (matches great with both a bright white kids table and with our more ivory colored desk and bookshelves from Ikea).2) The pile is a great length, about an inch long. It's not made of yarn like lots of other shag rugs that look more like long carpet. It's more like a nylon cording (exactly what I was hoping for). And let me tell you, it is ridiculously soft! And I love how there are two different thicknesses to provide added texture.3) The backing is very well made. The underside of the rug is a nice grey color, but the top of the backing (the part you see if you separate the pile) is the same off-white as the cording. It has nice finished edges, the same grey color as the back. I can see how some people might not like that the edges are grey, but it doesn't bother me one bit. The shag is long enough that you rarely even catch a glimpse of it.4) Amazon's price can't be beat. Once I decided on this rug (despite the lack of other reviews), I searched around and found at least half a dozen other sites offering the same rug and size for at least $250 more, some as high as $400 more.5) The only complaint I have is the packaging it came in. It was shipped in just a very thin sheet of plastic which must have torn during shipping from the weight of the rug as it was transferred from truck to truck. It arrived on my doorstep torn and half open, and I'm just glad I pulled it in before the rain came a few hours later! I bought another rug for a different room a week before, and it was triple wrapped with very thick plastic. What a difference. That being said, I don't think it had an impact on the rug. If anything, it just speaks for the quality of the backing since things seem to be fine.I took a chance on this rug since there weren't many reviews for me to judge from, and I am so pleased with my purchase. And while I'm using it in our playroom, it's a very high-end looking rug. I would happily use it in our living room too. The twins flock to it every morning, and my older daughter likes to just lay there and do snow angles! It's so soft under your feet, and it's a dream to lay on! I highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super soft !!
*by T***I on February 18, 2025*

I bought a 2 x 10 and a 2 x 6 runner and they match in the house and look very nice people comment on them all the time. They’re so soft to walk on of course there is no padding on the bottom so they do slide you will need to put something to make a grip the floor so no one falls.
