I ordered this for my entry way and so far I am in love with it. It’s just gorgeous! The color is lighter than a lot of similar style rugs and it goes perfectly with my farmhouse style decor in my adjacent living room. I most likely will buy a mat to go under it but only to add a little cushioning. There is a non-slip backing already. Will likely buy a runner to match this rug for my back door. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something with a rusticnatural feel with a hint of sophistication.
