This rug is pretty awesome!  It is thin...thinner than I expected....I don't have a pad under it but would probably recommend it.  It almost seems like it has a sheen to it so it's not as rustic as it may appear...to me it is very elegant. I like the pattern and quality and color is wonderful.

Pros: Looks way more expensive than it was
Cons: Thinner than expected, but still good quality
