As an interior designer, I make many purchases on Great Offer Stock. This is definitely among my favorite! This 8' x 10' area rug rests under an Italian White Leather sofa and a large, thick glass coffee table. We purchased a 1/2" thick felt rug pad by Safavieh (on Overstock) since the height of the rug is only about 1/2". It is soft and luxurious, looks much more expensive than it was. I would highly recommend this rug (and may even purchase another one for my house). Very pleased!
