The pattern is much more crude than the picture depicts.  Rug is very thick for a Persian/Oriental type rug.   I bought the hall runner and pad.  It is simply too thick to use with the pad because the pad is thick too.  I am keeping the rug but I will be looking for something a bit better, and no doubt more expensive.

Pros: Solid construction, appears very durable.
Cons: Pattern is not as refined as pictured.  Rug is too thick.
