Fabulous rugs! I highly recommend! These rugs are a beautiful blend with our granite tops, as pictured. Arrived in perfect shape, took 2 short days to flatten. I love the richness and weight of wool rugs, these did not disappoint. I am not using pads, don’t like the extra height in the work area. I have the flat rubber mats to hold in place. They are heavy and stay perfectly positioned. Luxurious, seem much costlier than they were.
