I was trying to find a more traditional style of rug for my guest room that is yellow and gray and this rug was a wonderful fit.  The yellow is more of a yellow/gold, but not too much so, it still works with my medium yellow bedspread and drapes.  It is a nice thickness.  The underside of the rug is the higher quality backing, not that extremely rough plastic type backing.  I am putting it on top of carpeting, so this backing will be fine without any pad.  If I was putting it on hardwood I would still use a thin pad to protect the flooring.   So glad my long search is over!    

Pros: Beautiful and colorful without being too bold.
Cons: Texture is ok, wish it was just a little softer since I'm using it in a bedroom.
