Such a beautiful rug. We bought a 0.5 rug pad to put under it and it's super plush and cushy. It seems to hide our pet's hair well so far, which I'm glad for since it is a bit of a darker rug. There is a slight off-gassing smell still (a few days after unrolling it). But each day that gets duller and duller.  We are very happy with this and it really pulled our room together.
