Very pleased with this purchase.  I was a little concerned about buying an area rug online, but this price can't be beat.  FYI- the gray contrast color is more subtle in person than it appears in the online picture.  I'm using the word gray instead of silver because to me silver means there is some sort of sheen or iridescent quality to it, and this is matte gray.  The rug is soft and there is no odor.  Use a rug pad.
