Beautiful Rug! Love the color, a little darker background than in the pictures, has touches of grey throughout, which actually worked better for us. It's a low pile rug great for high traffic areas and when a door needs to open over it. The quality is high looks as if it will last a long time. Very plush for the low pile. We don't have a pad underneath and it's still soft, used rug adhesives to attach to floor to avoid tripping. Definitely recommend.
