We have been very happy with our new rug. The colors are a bit more muted than we expected, but it fits in perfectly in our home. It's very soft. We had debated about buying a underlayment (cushioning) to go under the rug, but it isn't needed. It did take awhile (more than a week) before the edges weren't curling (we weighted them down), but we've had it awhile now and literally haven't had issues.
