I have really come to love this rug! I was a bit disappointed at first that it was more off white than bright white (like shown in the pictures)... but it's grown on me over time. I was really impressed with how fast it unrolled. It did come with a strong almost new paint like smell, but it didn't last longer than a day. It's a very soft rug and a lot heavier duty and a higher quality than I was expecting! (LOVE) I have it in my art room and am really happy with the pop of color it brings! I definitely recommend.
