I purchased an 8x10 yellow version 5 months ago and have been absolutely thrilled with it. It is actually soft to walk on and the color is true to the pictured tone. This rug really pulled together a room that I was redoing. I recently rolled it up to add a rug pad and there was just a tiny bit of silt from settling, so I would recommend using a pad on hardwood based on this. It is just a fantastic value. I could not be happier.
