We purchased several rugs from Wayfair at the same time and are well-pleased with all of them.  This one is no exception.  My husband spends a lot of time in the kitchen on our hard floors.  We wanted to find a rug to put down in the kitchen that would provide a cushion for his feet and remove some of the stress from his ankles and knees. We also wanted something that would provide some color contrast to the floors and fit in with our decor, so decided against a traditional kitchen mat.  We paired this rug with a thickly cushioned rug pad and it's perfect.  It's a nice soft carpet that is comfortable, stylish, and even dog approved.
