It looks beautiful and it's soft, but it's very thin.  I have a rug pad beneath it and I definitely recommend that for some much needed spring to your step.  I'm a little worried that it'll wear out quickly with the heavy canine traffic in my house but we'll see.  *edited to add* it's also very prone to staining from dirt.  I used my carpet cleaner on it and it didn't do anything. It's now so gross looking I'm having to buy something else.  In a darker color. lol
