I really like it. It's not a tight weave - it's about the consistency of standard inexpensive tract house wall to wall type carpet, but it's bright and fun and the colors are vivid. The gas off is pretty rough. I suggest closing the room off and leaving windows open at night. During the day burn like five sticks of shoyeido incense non stop with the from sealed. I guess you could also leave it in the garage for a while. The gas off is as bad as any cheap tempurpedic style mattress.
