Great rug, it's a little tanner, not quite as honey colored as the picture, but it's perfect for me.   Hard to find a nine foot round size.   This is very soft underfoot and not "grassy" like some and is not shedding.  It did have that earthy smell when first unwrapped, but pretty much gone after three days.   My only complaint (not deducting stars for this complaint)  is it came wrapped in a very tight cocoon which was supposed to be used to repackage if not satisfied.  The only way I could get it out of that cocoon was to cut it down about 1/3 of the way and get a big strong person help me wrestle it out.   Yes, it was hilarious, but it is a warning to have a helper!
