Lovely rug that has a vintage look. Nice and thick, not cheap feeling! Didnt take long to relax and lie flat. I got the 8x10 size and its under my dining table. I will have to buy a rug pad because I have 2 large dogs and this rug slips on my wood floor when they run through the room. But if you dont have dogs or kids that will be running on it, you may not even need a pad, its comfortable under foot without one.
