I bought this rug a couple of weeks ago and am so glad that I did. It looks exactly like the pictures (especially the “try in your space” picture that you can do). The rug was wavy right after opening it and did have a slight smell to it, but the smell quickly went away. It is still a little wavy, but I’m hoping it will straighten itself out over time. I got it for my dining room in the 6x9 size and it’s perfect. It should make spills super easy to clean with it being indoor/outdoor. It’s not plush at all (because it’s jute), but for being made out of jute, it isn’t rough at all on your bare feet. I’ve even vacuumed it with no issues at all. I’m so happy with my 1st Rugs USA purchase! I now see why this particular rug is constantly on back order. If you’re on the fence about it, just do it! You won’t regret it.
