I love the way this rug looks and we also got a super thick rug pad underneath as it is very thin.  The rug pad helps make it cozy on little feet.  The thing I don't like about it is that since it is so thin/made of cotton, I find it hard to vacuum... my vacuum sucks up the rug and it moves from its spot on the floor.  (We have a dog so this annoys me daily) That being said, I do think it is so beautiful and exactly what I was looking for in terms of the way it looks and feels.
