I needed a high-traffic area rug to put under my dining table because my wool rug was a magnet for the debris of my two teenage grandsons. This rug was a pleasant surprise in quality, durability and neutral appearance. It came rolled around a cardboard tube, which resulted in some curl on both ends. However, I eliminated the curl by weighing the rug down on both ends and letting it sit for a couple of days. The rug is thin and definitely needs a pad. Unfortunately, I did not buy one but wish I had. Although it is now flat on the floor, when I slide a chair on top of it, a "wrinkle" results. So, now I am buying a felt pad, which should eliminate that problem. 

Pros: Great value. Nicely neutral. Can vacuum or sweep.
Cons: Needs a good pad.
