The color of this rug is good, and the fibers are soft under foot. It’s not very thick so I’d definitely lay it on top of a good rug pad or carpet like we did. When we unrolled it, it had major waves in it and took several days to straighten out the biggest waves. It’s still not completely flat but it works for us since we put it under a bed. It looked super matted when it first came so it needs a good vacuum to fluff up the fibers as well. Over all it’s pretty basic, but it works for what we needed.
