Rug is thick and pattern is as expected. 
Tone in red looked more yellow/orange next to our brown sofa. I switched it to the kitchen with navy blue walls and it worked! From the picture I expected it to be a deeper red background. No smell in carpet. Does need time to be vacuumed/walked on to remove the fabric fluff initially. Very plush with the felt rubber backed mat under. Warning you need to lay the mat first adjust snd fit then have someone hold it while you roll out the rug. They grip to one another no sliding to adjust overlap. Which is a great thing once it’s in place!
