This rug is absolutely beautiful in my space. The it’s an awesome faded pattern with beautiful color to match almost any room. The colors are very neutral and the rug is great quality. I opted to not put a pad under it but I may add one in the future. I vacuumed it with my shark vacuum with the brush on and it was fine although it does suggest to not vacuum with the brush on. I have dogs so that really isn’t an option but I think it will fair just fine. This is just another win for my decor style!!!
