This area rug is beautiful, the edges are really nice an tight the colors are just a little darker than the picture but it makes the rug look great. If you like rich deep color, thin perfect amount of slip proof backing this is the rug. I ordered the pad its to much for me  so I need to send back this is something I hate to do you never seem to get what you paid sometimes there are hidden fees so think twice before getting the pad, this pad that is recommended for this rug comes folded and kinda thick which makes a trip hazard for me. but rug is great.
