This is a very nice quality rug.  It's pretty thick - I bough a rug pad to go under it but I"m not sure it needs it.   It sheds quite a bit.  However, the color is much more of a turquoise and brown than I expected.   It still matches my room and I'm keeping it, but something you should be aware of.  

Pros: Thick good quality
Cons: Sheds a lot.  Colors a bit off.
