I like this rug, it is rather flat so you need a pad if you want some cushion and it will slide if not anchored with a pad or furnature. Size is exactly as stated. I should have picked a slightly less busy pattern for the living room. The beige is a bit golden and the rug has a few shades of green, red is pretty, color varies with the light. I am happy with this purchase as it really warms the room.
