This rug is soft, nice, and holds up well so far in a high-traffic area in my kitchen. I agree with the other posts that it does require some sort of non-slip mat underneath if placing on a wood or tiled floor. Overall I am very happy with the look and quality of the rug. I have only had it for a short time so I cannot comment as to how it looks months down the road... 

Pros: color, quality, texture 
Cons: needs additional items (non-slip mat)
