THIS RUG IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. IT ISNT WELL PADDED BUT AFTER PLACING A CRADDOCK PAD UNDER THEM THEY LAY SMOOTHLY WITHOUT THE CORNER FLIPING UP.I REMOVED MY EXPENSIVE WOOL RUGS AND USED A ROUND ONE AT ENTRY AND THE LARGER RECTANGULAR UNDER COFFEE TABLE THE COLORES ARE SATURATED  .  I DONT FRET OVER MESSES MADE BY MY PETS AND MY LIVING ROOM LOOKS SIMPLY FANTASTIC.
