I love this rug, in fact I now have two of them.  I had originally bought a small one for my front door.  Then I painted my master bedroom and realized the blue in this rug is spot on the color of my new focal wall.  So I bought the 7'x10' one.  I love how it all came together.  Like others have said, its not a terribly thick rug but I have this one over carpet (see pic),  It's sturdy enough not to buckle under the weight of the bed, it lays very flat, and I feel like it totally makes the space and you can not beat the price!
