Very nice rug. Is like a braided rug in that it doesn’t have a mesh backing so it’s more flexible than a mesh backed rug. Will work great for us in a bedroom. Soft colors, great for my picky pre-teen. . . Update: not good if you have cats. Day two and they’ve decided to sharpen their claws on it pulling threads from the braided rug. This is going to be thrown away in less than six months most likely.
