I took several days to decide on this rug, and I am not disappointed.  I have a great room so needed a large rug and this is perfect.  I change décor often and the beautiful colors and pattern of the rug will transition well. The rug fibers are soft underfoot.  Being a thin rug, I used a 3/4" pad underneath to protect the wood floor and give the rug some bounce. I really like the design has a time worn look about it, softening the pattern and giving it character.  I would definitely recommend this rug.
