I LOVE this rug. Got the one closest to 8x10. It’s really soft and has different carpet heights which adds nice texture. My toddler has been rolling around on it and rubbing all the fluffy pieces. I love the colors! We’re updating the living room so it’ll be nice to have this color palette to work with. I did not buy a carpet pad for under it but I don’t think I need one because the furniture holds it down. The roomba still manages to roll over it but struggles on the high carpet pieces.
