This rug is lovely to look at. It's not a thick, cushy rug, so if you're looking for that, I'd advise either an underlay or a different rug. I was pleasantly surprised that it lays on the floor nicely without slipping; we didn't need anything underneath it. However, it is not perfectly square (or rectangle). That is, there are 2 diagonally-opposite corners that are not 90 degrees, and it's a visible flaw. We're fine with it anyway, for the price, but it's noticeable. We've only had it for about 6 weeks, so I can't say how durable it is. It comes clean quickly with a vacuum and the binding on the edges seems sturdy.
