Rug is really beautiful, soft, and thicker than I thought it would be (although still fairly thin; a good thing for a pet owner like me.) It really does need a pad underneath, and the corners are still not completely flat, after being on the floor for 3 days. It would be better if they rolled it so the top part of the rug is on the outside, but other than that,  I absolutely love the soft, pretty colors, and will probably buy some matching pieces eventually.
