The rug is very thin.  The color and feel are good.  I have ordered a pad to go under it and would recommend that to anyone purchasing this rug.  I bought the 9X12.  I read several reviews about problems with rugs being folded or curling on the ends.  My rug came rolled and it did have wrinkles the first couple of days but I flattened out the wrinkles and edges by placing heavy items on each of the corners and my sofa on the most curled edges.
