It’s a nice, neutral rug perfect for my entrance. It doesn’t need a rug pad because it doesn’t slide at all because of its rubber backing, which is great. It is not, however, comfortable to sit or walk on barefoot. It is pokey and rough. This is fine because it’s at the entrance, but I wouldn’t want it anywhere else in the apartment. Also, one of the corners was sewn poorly and looks partially undone and that it might unravel more.
