I was excited to receive this rug in the 8x10 size for our den. I wanted a neutral, soft, easy to clean rug while we have babies crawling around in the den. While the coloring is as shown and it is a soft low pile, I am disappointed to find that the edges are not finished. The canvas backing, which has some red in it, protrudes beyond the threads in the rug & detracts from the quality look of the piece. This is a problem for us. The rug also has a strong chemical smell & is quite thin so it does not lay flat yet on Day 2. I will post an update if we decide to keep it.
