The description says the pile height is "Pile Height: 1.3 inches". In reality it is paper thin and rough. This should not be called a rug at all. Very disappointed by the buy. The description of this item is misleading. This is not usable at all,it looks like an old rag, not rug. I'm returning this. If possible would have given zero stars. Pros: none Cons: very thin, rough, looks like a rag, not rug.
