This rug is everything that I was looking for! We recently upgraded our main living areas to hardwood flooring and wanted area rugs that complemented our modern flooring. This rug is perfect! We did place a no-skid pad under it as recommended by the manufacturer which helps to keep it from sliding. The pattern is so elegant with a touch of oriental and some manufacturer fading throughout the pattern. The knotted edges really show off the high quality of this rug. We have received so many compliments in the short time we've owned this rug. It is visually appealing as well as comfortable to walk on in bare feet; it is exactly what we hoped it would be.
