This was my first time purchasing a rug online and, needless to say, I was really nervous. Don't hesitate, this rug is stunning! I got the 5x8ish size and it is perfection. The colors are gorgeous muted blueish-gray, beige, taupe and green. I was worried this rug would overwhelm my small living room, but it doesn't the colors and design come across as very neutral ... I makes it look cozy and elegant (and not too feminine! my husband loves it!). I didn't get a rug pad, I simply placed my coffee table on it so that it doesn't slide around. If you do not have heavy furniture to place on it, you will need something to help it stay in place.

Pros: Soft, Beautiful, Price
