Rug arrived in good condition, nicely packaged.  There was no smell at all and minor curling of edges which I expected, a couple of days and it will be perfectly flat.  I purchased the 5 X 7 size and I think I read every review on this rug before I ordered it.  It is thin and I will buy a rug pad to put underneath it for extra cushioning.  I was expecting more of a true white with the grey but it is definitely an off-white.  I am not wowed, it's just OK and the price was good.  I will use this one until I find the perfect rug for my space and the look I'm going for.  It's very new in my space and I may learn to love it more but for now it's just a rug that kind of goes but I know there's something out there that is probably a better fit.
