I like this rug very much!  It had a chemical smell when I first unrolled it, but the smell was gone by the next day.  I thought the rug was a little rough on my feet at first, but I got used to the feel quickly and it's just fine now.  It's perfect for my beach theme living room.  My Roomba works great on this rug and I like knowing that I can take it outside and clean with a hose if necessary (potential hairballs in my household).  My cat has tried to use the rug as her personal scratching mat, but the rug isn't getting damaged by her.  Thanks to many Wayfair reviewers posting pics, I was able to clearly see the texture and colors of the rug before I ordered.  It looks exactly like I thought it would.  I'm very pleased!
