This is a very nice rug for the price. I ordered the charcoal color and it is true to the online photos. As expected, it looked flat and sad when I opened it. I followed the instructions of how to uncurl and fluff it and now it looks great! I have only a thin, anti slip pad under it but I’m sure a thicker pad would make it much more comfy. I do recommend this area rug, you definitely get more than you pay for.
