The colors in this rug are beautiful and exactly what I was looking for.  The rug is very thin, so I used a nice thick pad underneath.  We've had the rug for about 6 months in our dining room. I have noticed that the rug has stretched out a bit in areas where the dining chairs move in and out regularly.  I'm concerned about how it will hold up long-term.  I think it would be fine in a room with less traffic or movement, though.
