We like it - it looks nice in our room and fits in very well. Color variation is a little wider than expected - it is a 'distressed' rug, but some ivory areas are larger than expected, as are some of the blue areas (in an 8'x10' rug). The rug is a little on the thin side but still provides adequate softness and padding for the feet and a little warmth on a vinyl plank floor. We did not order an under pad and probably will not need one.
