The rug is very nice. It looks beautiful and it is soft. I have the rug in my bedroom which has carpet so I don't have issues with it slipping but if you have it on a hard surface you may want a rug pad. Delivery was quick and efficient. The only small complaint I have is that the rug has a very strong chemical/plastic smell when you first open it. I placed it in my bedroom and the first night it was almost too strong to sleep in the room. A week later and the smell is faint. Overall, I recommend this rug.
