It's a nice rug, and works very nicely in the designated area. Some of the colors appear somewhat washed out in appearance, but overall not bad. It warms up the space, and feels nice and thick under your feet. I'm using it with a standard non-slip pad underneath. However there IS one downside. The threads along the outside edges will start to unravel in high traffic areas. I'm tying off the loose threads as it occurs to keep it from continuing to unravel, and being careful when vacuuming. I still like it and I'm making it work.
