I had ordered a similar rug in a smaller size, but wanted a larger size to warm up brick floors in a small loft area.  Unfortunately they no longer had the same rug so I had to find something else.  This rug is great quality and price and looked great as soon as it was rolled out.  Very soft and nice thickness.  Also very rich and pretty colors!  I did put a pad under because it was on a brick floor but it wouldn’t really need one.  Highly recommend!!
