This was the first purchase I had some hesitation when I purchased.  It was listed as yellow and the picture looked a little more golden which is what I wanted.  I got it and put it on the floor with the furniture and drapes and it was perfect. I have it under the foot board of a king sized mahogany sleigh bed and the contrast is stunning.  I am using it without a pad and it lays flat so there is no tripping hazard.  I would recommend to anyone considering it.
