I received this last night and I immediately unwrapped and rolled it to my already carpeted living room. It totally gave life to a very bare space due to its simple but chic design. I gave it 4 stars because the quality would have looked better in person. Maybe it needs a little bit more vacuming since the off white part of it has looks a little dirty from the lint and the wrapping. It is pretty heavy and thick which is a good thing though considering its very reasonable price! You wouldn't need a liner for this esp. If you're putting it over a carpeted floor because it stays and won't slip.
