I like that this area rug is unique in colour and pattern. Bought the 8' runner and it fits perfectly in our front hallway. The background colour is grey so not to over power the room with too much green. The carpet itself is thick and feels plush underfoot but not so thick that you feel you will trip when wearing your shoes. The carpet does slide around a bit after walking on it so we will need to buy a anti-slip mat for under the rug, which we knew we would most likely have to. Over all I love this mat, can't find anything this nice in local stores for the price we paid, very pleased with my purchase.
