I am absolutely in love with the colours on this rug! It’s vibrant and the colours look so good together. I have a muted dark grey couch and the family room where this rug has been placed is all grey, white and beige - so this is a nice accent piece for the room.
I did not order a rug pad for this - and honestly, I don’t find the need for it. I found the carpet to be thick enough. The texture is dense and thick.

The only reason for giving it 4 stars is there are small gaps between the colours in the rug (I’m hoping the pictures give some clarity on that). The design is beautiful but the threads have gaps between them. The gaps are noticeable once you come close to the rug, though.
