We bought the 4 foot diameter circle rug as a base for our rocking chair in our great room.  This is a great rug, great quality and true to color.  We are using this rug over hardwood floors, so a pad is mandatory.  The backing of this rug is especially coarse and rough, so a pad is a necessity over any floor, except possibly wall to wall carpet.  Fit our need very well and at a very reasonable price.
