I researched so many rugs on Wayfair before finding and purchasing this rug.  I read so many reviews and almost every review on this rug was glowing and I can see why - the rug looks like it costs 10 times what I paid!  The colors are vivid and true and it has a rich dense feeling when you walk on it - my daughter wanted to sleep on it, it's so comfortable and luxurious!  It is the perfect complement to our dining area.  I did add the rug pad, although you probably don't need it as the rug is so heavy.  Highly recommend!
