I LOVE THIS RUG. The colors are brilliant, and add the pop of color that I needed. It is a little thinner than I'd like, but adding a pad will take care of that problem. Mine is under a heavy coffee table so a pad is not needed. When the rug arrives, lay it out flat on the floor to relax for a couple of days, and the edges will not curl. I've ordered another one, along with the pad, in a larger size. I get many compliments!!
