I love this rug and the feel of natural fiber under my feet. Looks just like the photos.  You definitely need a thick non-slip rug pad under this one. Update: A sunroom or a sunny spot is not a good place for this rug. I think because of the natural fiber, it fades A LOT in the sunlight. I've now moved it into a spare room and purchased a synthetic fiber rug for the sunroom. It's still holding up very well, but did shrink a bit when I washed it, even though I air dried it.  But I still like it enough to keep the 5-star rating.
