Exactly what I was hoping it would be. I bought the 8 ft round version and it looks fantastic. Delivery was quick and easy to carry up three flights of steps. It was packaged well and rolled out easily. I havent needed a rug mat for under it. It mostly stays in place just fine. My cat took to this rug immediately and lounges on it most of the day, as his new favorite spot to relax and play. Overall im very happy with this rug. The price was perfect and it really brings my entire studio decor together and makes it more homey.
