So dramatic and plush. I put the latex non-slip rug pad underneath which make the carpet nice and soft to walk on. The reds in the carpet are really striking. I opted for the largest size which has helped reduce the noise in a rather large titled room.  With the red, black and gray colors I am able to place red black and gray upholstered furniture to take advantage of the color contrast. I am glad I made the leap to buy this rug.
