Love this rug...happy with my purchase. Nice & thick & warm..does not need a pad underneath. I have it in my white cupboard kitchen with heavy traffic....pulls everything together nicely. Easy to keep clean, although does have some piling when new...but frequent vacuuming solves this issue. It arrived fairly quickly as well. I would highly recommend buying this rug..you won't be sorry. Love my purchases from Wayfair so far.
