This is a flat rug. No pile, per se but perfect for pets and a beautiful patter. Definitely need a rug pad but it looks very rich and substantial with a pad.

Did not like this rug at all. Very slippery texture.

This rug is very pretty in person and we love it in our space!

lovely as pictured. Very thin so it lays ultra flat. Colours are very soft, muted tones. Mine in placed over carpet but it would be absolutely fabulous over hardwood floor. Very unique. Excellent value. Very pleased with the purchase.
