I ordered three of these rugs and they are all different, but I like the variety in my hallway. You cannot use them on hardwood floors without a rug pad and not all rug pads will work with them because they will move on the pad. They are colorful, but in different lighting the intensity of the colors vary quite a bit from one rug to another, so you would want them laying side by side. They are a nice thickness and I was satisfied with them after I got the rug pads that didn't let them move.
