I've been looking for a carpet to place in front of my couch for a while now. I absolutely love this one. It is really soft under foot. The pattern is subtle and neutral. It should go with any couch in the future. There was no weird odor to it upon arrival. It arrived in perfect condition and true to size. Overall, it's very well made. Not thin and chincy. There is a beautiful texture to it. I received this to test, and I am beyond thrilled I did. I absolutely love it.
