After reading some other reviews I was debating whether I should buy this rug. I bought it anyway because I loved the design. I received it in about a week and opened it up and it looked just like the picture, so beautiful! It had a slight smell of glue (but what rug doesn't after first opening) but it went away after about 24 hours. The corners also quickly went down after setting a heavy object on it over night. I actually love how thin it is because dog/cat hair gets caught in higher pile rugs. I LOVE this rug and highly recommend!
