Love this rug!  It has a very cool pattern and, at least in the runner, is not too busy.  It's so comfortable under foot and really warms the hallway leading to our back door.  It's very low pile making it a breeze to open and close our back door, clearing the carpet.  I haven't put a pad under it yet, but I'm going to have to as the runner slips around on our tile floor.  The only bad thing is that the one I received is 2" wider than the description which makes it about 1/4" too wide on both sides at just one small part in our hall.  I love the rug so much that I'm keeping it anyway!  I did read on the site somewhere, that handmade rugs can be slightly larger or smaller than listed.  I believe it's up to 2", but I can't swear to that.  Anyway, it arrived in good time and was triple packaged in heavy duty plastic, arriving safely.  Would have easily given it a 5 if not for the improper size.
