The rug looks nice and feels good under my feet. I certainly don’t feel the need to add a rug cushion underneath it. That said, I’m a little disappointed in the coloring. The manufacturer’s photos make it look silvergray and black but this is actually cream, charcoal grey and black. The cream is throwing me off a bit because it was unexpected. I will likely keep it because I need more than one runner and this might look place in a different spot. But please take note of the colors in the pictures I’ve attached. The threading around the border of the rug is an ivorycream color and the pattern on the face of the rug itself is at least 50 cream.
