So I have 2 of these rugs now because I bought one and was so pleased with it that I scooped up another one when I saw it was on sale. First I bought the light purple gray, I love the color and and also love that the backing is cushioned, unlike most rugs. The second one I got was light pink, love this color also. This makes it very soft and pleasing to sit on. I bought the 4' x. 6' size for both, which is large enough to cover my sofa and put on my bed to protect both from my big dog.I had bought a sofa cover that was quilted cloth, but that was torn up in about a week. These rugs really hold up well, AND they also don't shed their shag. I bought a shag rug on sale from WalMart and have retired it already, as it lacked the soft cushy feel that these have, AND it shed all over the place - could not stand up to big or little dog. I had to pull pieces of shag from that rug from their toenails, it was not good. But these rugs, no problem, they really hold up. I have no idea how I will clean them when the time comes as they won't fit in the washer, but thus far they are fine.They did stink up a storm when first unwrapped, but I think that can't be helped with something that's been shrink wrapped and stored for a while. I hung them outside and beat them a little and that helped dissipate the smell, but it really took about 3 days or so for the smell to dissipate fully. You might want to unwrap them outside if you have a small or not well ventilated space.All in all I give these five stars, they are soft, cushy, comfy, do not shed, and totally hold up well to my big dog the destroyer of all nice things. I am planning to buy more of these rugs to cover another sofa and a giant 4' x 6' pillow seat that I bought for myself to young on in the home office when I need a break, but which has somehow turned into big dog's office bed lol.Oh and they do a great job of protecting the furniture from his drool as well as his teeth and toenails.
