This is a super rug.  I ordered the 6' round and liked it so much I ordered the  8x10 rectangle.  The colors are so nice and lively.  it will add a lot of color to a bland color scheme.  It is soft but not very thick.  Each rug I ordered will go under a table so I did not ordered pads for the rugs.  I might change my mind after I have everything in place.
