This rug came exactly as pictured.  While some reviewers' photos made it appear very blue, I found the colors more muted.  The low pile is perfect for underneath our dining room table and chairs.  The rug unrolled easily and had just a slight turn at the edge that was rolled on the inside.  That quickly went away after 24 hours of magazines stacked on the end.  :)  No smell or anything.  Plus, I loved all the size options!  

Pros: Great value, easy to unroll, beautiful colors, multiple size options
Cons: None!
