Very good rug for the money, although I don't think the color is exactly true to picture. The background color is more gray than sage green, although it appears greener in certain lighting. It still works for my space though so I like it. When looking more closely I notice there are actually many colors, including a different green and gray as well as red, purplish rose, black, white, tan and gold. It took about 48 hours for the corners to flatten out and I did not notice a strong smell at all.
