My husband picked out this rug for his man cave and loves it. The blues are vibrant and the tan is much more noticeable in person then in the picture. Which is something we were looking for but a close up picture of the color would be beneficial. A moderate odor when we rolled it out that is taking a few days to completly dissapate but its not overwhelming. Corners & edge took some furniture to get them to lie flat. No shedding so far.
