Gorgeous rug! Absolutely perfect for my new living room furniture. The colors are rich, the pattern clear, and I like the fact that it's not too bright yet it's not faded/vintage/worn style. I chose not to use a rug pad because furniture is placed on it and will hold it in place without sliding. I confess I wish it was a bit less expensive (I purchased the 9ix12) but I'm happy with my purchase. It arrived early, was wrapped securely, and I could roll it out without waiting days for ripples to subside because...there weren't any! My dining room needs a new rug now, because the living room is open to it. So, I'll continue my rug shopping at Wayfair!
