Beautiful rug, colors are very neutral, Love the fringed edges they are knotted with a little bit of fringe at the end. Rug is very soft to the touch, but not a deep plush feeling when you walk on it. I put the rug in my living room, so I could get a good look and see how it handled high traffic before putting in it in the bedroom. But both of my dogs can't get enough of this rug, even my Great Pyrenees who hates being hot so usually spends most of his time on the tile loves it. So I guess it will stay in the living room. The rug vacuums very well I order a rather large one and so it is being held in place by furniture so not sure if you would need a nonslip rug pad or not.
