Nice looking rug, well made, fits our house perfectly.  We have an odd space to cover, so we had to buy two rugs and overlap them.  We are going to buy the thicker pads to go under the un-overlapped ends.  At some point we may have the one rug professional cut and attached to make a longer rug.  We will bind the spare piece and use it elsewhere.  We do have a dog that runs all over these rugs and they are holding up well.  We also put water resistant spray on the rugs because they are in the kitchen near sink and stove.  So far, so good.
