This carpet is what's advertised, soft very low ribbed carpet with a very great rubber backing. I love it and have dogs and hair comes up very easy plus cleaning spills is a breeze. I use a little dish soap in water and clean the spot. Couldn't ask for better, thank you . Need to order three more to finish rest ofy house, inside. I'm 74 and vacuuming carpet is very hard but not on this carpet. Trudy
