This is a stunning rug!  We are using it under our gray dinning table with a hutch about the color of the deeper blue green in the rug.  The rug ties all the elements in the room together and results in an eye-catching room. We have had so many comments on this room and especially the rug.  Even the UPS guy said, "Man, that's a beautiful rug!  My wife would love that!"  If you are looking for a very thick, lush rug, this is not it.  The rug is not thick, but with a pad underneath, the thickness would be sufficient.  As the rug is under our table, we are not using a pad.  This rug is subtle in color, but with the texture in the rug, the rug is truly a beautiful element in our home.  Thank you Wayfair!
