Love this rug, just beautiful! I have purchased at least 5 rugs over the past few months to see if I liked them in my home.  I had my eye on this one and thought "ok, one more try" and bingo it was perfect under my dinning room table. Supper soft, (definitely needs a pad.) I recommend the thick pad and definitely purchase it with the rug. Makes all the difference.  Well worth it.  Vacuums beautifully! No regrets, Thanks Wayfair,  for providing quality products at a great price!  I'm a lifer :)
