This is a very pretty rug and the colors are as described. However the product description is misleading. It states: "Featuring a latex backing, this area rug does not slip. The latex backing also ensures that the floor stays safe from discoloration." The rug has no backing, it slips and requires a rug pad. Part of the reason I purchased this rug was the latex backing. I was required to purchase a separate pad at an added expense.
