Unique pattern on this rug! We use it at the bottom of our stairs where they enter the dining room (where we have another awesome black, gold and tan rug from Wayfair in a more solid pattern, but they tie together nicely. This rug is not a non-skid and requires a non-slip backer. It's not the thickest or most plush, but it's a good deal for the money. No obvious flaws, takes about a week to uncurl.
