Bought this in the 5x8’ size and it fit my space perfectly. Arrived super quick, packaged well. I’d agree with the other reviewers that even though the color states “charcoal”, it feels more like a dark indigo blue (which I wanted). I didn’t buy a rug pad for underneath it, and I think that was the right choice. It’s substantial enough alone, and I love that it’s wool. It feels great to the touch. I’m super happy with this rug.
