I looked non-stop for 4 days for on line rugs.  This neutral rug just kept pulling me back.  Quiet elegance.  Wasn't sure how it would turn out.  It is beautiful.  All one pile.  I got the best pad too.  It is not soft or sinkable, but smooth, even, medium thick pile.  I love it.  My floors are warmer.  The carpet complements anything I put with it so I can change my bedding, pictures, etc. as I want.  I got them both carpet and pad separately but within days of ordering.  During covid! All around a very good choice!
