I bought the 8 X 10 for my living room to help my long legged standard poodle from sliding on the wood floor. I was concerned it might be heavy but it was not. I put it down without a rug pad because it is huge and my heavy sofa is holding it down. The edges sit flat immediately despite having been rolled up which is a plus. The design is nice and neutral but with a little texture and feels fine on my feet. I can vacumn and clean this rug easily, it doesn't shed wool and it was inexpensive compared to other rugs. Made in India, not China. The label does state that it could discolor a floor without a pad but my floor is darker than the rug. There was a slight odor which dissipated quickly. Poodle can jump down from sofa, run and play tug on it without my worrying about her aging hips. She can also hang over the sofa and drool all she likes as it can be sprayed and cleaned. Worth the cost.
