This rug is gorgeous! I was looking for something for a little study nook that had a much-loved tan lounge chair next to the Coyne Desk with a gray studded desk chair. The colors in and pattern in this rug worked wonderfully in this area. The gold is bright and stands out well. The rug is soft without being to thick. This is on wood floors, so if it slides over time we may put a pad underneath, but so far there hasn't bee a need.
