We are so pleased with this rug (9x12). It is beautiful and very soft. It is thick enough to give it some depth but not heavy. I was able to put down a pad and then unfold the rug on top without much difficulty. The rug and pad move well together and the pad doesn’t bunch up underneath.  The pattern and color are traditional with modern sensibilities. The colors are a perfect fit for our room including beige, brown, black, and grey. I would highly recommend this rug.
