The rug has been down for some time in my living room and I love it as much as the first day I unrolled it. I love the colors and pattern. They stand out but still have a warm, lived in look. I do not have a pad under it since I figured it would not slip being that it is under the furniture. I think I may add it though to give it a little more comfort under foot. It matches perfectly with my dark blue couch and natural wood floors. Good product at a good price and zero issues with delivery.
