Have been thinking about purchasing this rug for quite awhile.  The 5x8 was out of stock when I finally decided to get it, so then had to wait. But finally it was back and I jumped on it!  Well, let me tell you, it's gorgeous!  It's a little more muted in color then I thought it would be, but I love it anyway.  Giving it 4 stars only because the background is kind of an oatmeal color, not as light as I expected. But hey, the cats definitely approve, so that's good enough for me!  The picture shows a few slight ripples, which I'm sure will ease out. No bad smell, arrived quickly and was very securely packaged.  Love Wayfair!!!!
