Customers praise the product's excellent quality, vibrant colors, and thickness, noting it lays flat immediately and is well-made. The appearance is described as beautiful and cute, with many finding it a perfect addition to children's rooms. Some reviewers mention the rug is thick enough not to require a pad. However, a few customers found the rug scratchy and uncomfortable for tummy time, and one experienced a mold smell. Shedding was also noted initially but improved over time.
