Our home has a lodge feel...many antiques, fireplaces and visiting black bears, deer and foxes right on Lake Superior...so the pattern is perfect! It is soft underfoot and didn't need an underlay on our ceramic tile floors. After rolling it out, we kept furniture off and put heavy books around the edges. After 36 hours ALL bumps were gone...and it looks GREAT!! We also got 2 runners, but small scatter rug was out of stock. Am intersted
