We purchased several sizes of this rug for entryway, living room and dining room. They have a nice thickness and on the 2 8x10 rugs, you do not need padding. I will put a non slip under the 2 entryway rugs. A few reviewers mentioned a smell. I am fairly sensitive to smells and none of our rugs gave off an odor.  Some reviewers said they were rolled so tight it took weeks to lay flat. Not true for our rugs. If you roll the edges the opposite way, the will lay correctly. 

Pros: Really nice accent rugs - great value 
Cons: None
