This rug is just beautiful. The colors are just as pictured, and it feels soft and luxurious. It looks like more expensive rugs I've had, but it has one great advantage -- non-slip backing, making it much easier to use, as you don't have to buy a separate pad to keep it in place. I had planned to use this rug to replace a runner rug in my hallway, but it turns out that this rug is quite a bit wider than that one. I've decided to use it instead in a narrow bedroom, where it really -- I have to say -- ties the room together.
