I am very happy with this rug and was pleasantly surprised that it was thicker than I thought it would be based upon others' comments.  I did order the pad with it so it is extra cushy.  The colors are muted so I am happy not to be "locked in" with a specific color and can accessorize and decorate around it.  It reminds me of velvet.   

Pros: Great value - as described.  Fast delivery!
Cons: None at this point.
