This rug arrived exactly as pictured and on time. The colors are deep and uniform and the feel of the rug is excellent below my bare feet. The rug did not have a noticeable odor in the room on the first night. I would have rated this rug a 5-star except for a 4-5 inch area along the edge on one of the corners where some white pokes through. This area could be mistaken as an area that is worn even though it isn't. Overall we were pleased with this rug and would buy again.
