I bought this rug for my entry foyer. Like the runner, the colors are beautifully muted, neutral enough to match any decorating scheme, and the distressing is just enough to make it look aged and time-worn without being shabby. It is thin enough so that it does not impede the front door opening or closing, and I am happy about that. Like the runner, I passed on the rug pad and used carpet tape in the corners and that is working just great. This really is a beautiful rug, SO much nicer in person than the pictures suggest. Shipping and delivery times were fantastic, as always. This is one of my most favorite purchases yet.
