Love the way this looks in my bedroom - the cotton is so nice to step on. It's not plush, so if you prefer a high pile, it's not the rug for you. But it looks great and vibrant without overpowering. No weird "new carpet" smell either. Came rolled up but lay flat almost instantly. There was one not very noticeable kink, but by the time I woke up in the morning, I didn't even notice that. Simple, classy, and functional.
