This rug is incredibly incredibly soft, silky, plush, and just beautiful!! The color is right on with the picture. I searched for months and months for rugs, and I am very happy with the one's I chose from Great Offer Stock. I also got the exact rug in the 5x8 size, which I also love, BUT the feel of the rug is different that this 3 x 5. This one is much softer and silkier than the larger, 5 x 8 one I purchased (also from Overstock). It is very plush but not the same feel.
