My husband and I chose this rug for the living room of our new home. We could not be more pleased with the quality of this rug. The colors are warm and vivid, and the texture of the rug is soft and dense. We were going to get a rug pad to go underneath it, and were told by a flooring professional not to bother with the pad, as it was plenty thick. We also got the matching runner for the front doorway in the living room, and are very pleased with the runner, too. I definitely recommend this rug to anyone interested. I would buy it all over again.
