This is a great rug for the price - the size I ordered wasn't big enough for the area I originally intended it for (my issue in visualizing the size needed, not a rug issue), but I liked it so much I just used it in a different area instead of returning.  True to color shown and laid flat almost immediately with no need for a rug pad or gripper - even with two rambunctious dogs flying around the house it stays in place on its own.
