Love love love this rug!! I was super nervous because I have a hard time picking rugs for spaces especially when I dont see them in person. It's SUPER soft, I walk around barefoot all the time, and when I hit this rug with my feet, it feels like velvet.

The smell issue that was brought up in other reviews was definitely there (it was a bit overwhelming the first day), but after about 3 days it was practically gone and now after 3 weeks, I don't smell anything.

The color palate shown in the picture was pretty close. I would say mine had a bit more medium and darker tonal grays but the dominant color was the light light gray. I have a medium gray couch and medium walnut colored wood floors, and it's a great hybrid that brings everything together.

The rug lays nice and flat and looks beautiful.
