I love everything about this rug.  I use it in my kitchen.  I think it's got a nice enough quality that it could also be used in any room actually but I have a very large kitchen with tile floors and wanted something softer and warmer to walk on.  The colors are better in person I think.  I have a smaller rug pad under it and it works well.  You will need a rug pad if you don't have anything sitting on and securing the rug.
