I have wood floors which can be chilly in winter, and this rug was a nice match for one on the other side of the room. Machine washable was a big plus. It arrived well packaged with protective caps for the ends. The backside is sturdy like a traditional rug, and it would need an Industrial or large front load washer. It has a low nap thats practical with a soft surface. The only issue I had with it was a smattering of deep navy, almost black, threading in the weave. You can only see it in the zoom option, and when I rolled it out they looked like random loose threads. They do form in a pattern, so Im good with it. However, theyre not mentioned in the description under “Information.” The warm tones may appear pink on some screens, but are a pale terracotta. Recommended.
