I looked around for a long time to find a rug for our space and I’m so glad I chose this one.  It matches the colors in our room very well and is nice and soft.  I got the pad with it too and that makes a big difference.  I do wish I had gotten a bigger size and may move this to another location in our room and order the larger one later but the price difference between the 5x8 and the 7x9 was just too much.
