We bought a rug like this in 8 x 10 and found it so thick and luxurious we decided to get this matching rug to go under our coffee table. The deciding point for me was when I was wandering around *** and saw a thin acrylic 4x6 clearance rug on sale for *** that looked very cheap. This was no contest. This was plush and like a work of art. It will not be as carefree as a cheap walmart rug. We treated it with Scotchguard right away and left it overnight. Then vacuumed vigorously, as we have read as appropriate for this kind of rug for initiation. We are very happy with the new look in our home.
