The overall look as far as colors wasn’t quite right for my room, so I’m sending this back, however, colors are quite true to what you see on the website, They are very soft, and as others have mentioned, rather thin for a rug. Any washable rugs of this size will not be any thicker or a washing making would not withstand it. I did not use mine with pads under them. (I bought more than one) and they have been fine without the pad. Like walking on a soft, heavy blanket, but no cush like you get with carpeting.
