Beautiful addition to my bedroom. I needed something to lighten the dense colors of my bedding, and caress my feet in the morning.  The hardwood floors were getting a little harsh and cold on the aging toes.  Matching the rugs and interesting esthetics were super important in my search. These rugs stood out beyond anything else I came across and it was a very long search! They do require a 1/4 inch pad for both grip and a little thickness. My feet and toes smile each time I wiggle them around on them.
