This rug is beautiful. There is only one problem with that. It looks like in the picture it is very plush throughout the rug, but it is actually multi height throughout the rug so it is not consistent. This may not be a problem for some but for us, we got it for comfort to walk on in the middle of the night for under the bed and around the bed this almost poses a problem as some areas are thicker than others, it will definitely have to have a thick pad under it to bring it to the comfort level required for all parts of the rug.  It was an expensive rug so I was hoping to not have to spend more for the comfort needed.
