It is really not soft. The color is darker than pictured. The "ivory" is a very grungy looking cream and the pattern is not as distinct in person. There were several flaws where the wrong color was used in the wrong space. I will be returning.

Love the look and feel of this rug, which we used for a nursery. It does shed a bit but the color was the gray that we were looking for.

Purchased for my 3 yo sons room. The rug is beautiful. It does shedd for the first several vaccums.

The rug didn't work out in it's intended spot, but is being used in my master bathroom. It's durable and looks like the picture, but the color contrast isn't as obvious (the color is a little more muted).

This is a gorgeous rug. The dot pattern is mesmerizing yet simple. The 6 foot square size is perfect in grandchilds bedroom. The wool will feel great in the winter! Combined with a low profile felt and rubber pad it will stay in place and feel super luxurious!
