This rug is very nice and was exactly as picture online. I am using it on a tile floor under a kitchen island without a pad. It is plush enough for that setup without any pad and really looks nice.  I got this as a surprise for my wife and when she asked me where I got it I told her Pottery Barn.  She didn't bat an eye and assumed it really was.  Really nice rug at a great price. Shipped super fast and in perfect condition.
