I loved this rug, the price was right and the rug was much more attractive then I expected.  It's soft to the the feet and the colouring is rich and true to the picture.  It goes well with my mid century decore.  The combination of colours make it compatible with a  neutral colour palate and an accent wall.   It looks great with my cloud white walls and black and baige accents.  It really makes my straw coloured sofa pop.  It also compliments my walnut lamps  and mahogany storage cabinets.  The pad is a definite must, especially because we have hardwood floors.
