I live in a very wooded area, with not much natural light.  I needed a rug that brightened the room.  This rug is beautiful.  I would suggest either a rug mat or rug corners to keep the rug in place.  The quality of this rug is top notch.  Feels wonderful on bare feet.  You would not want to use a vacuum with a beater-bar.  It arrived on time and in beautiful condition. I LOVE it!
