Beautiful rug. I was super skeptical to order a rug online but the price was too good to beat. It arrived quickly and was rolled up and wrapped in plastic. Once unrolled it took about a day to flatten out, no weird smell that I noticed. My toddler laid on it right away. Color is very light grey and white, beautiful pattern. Stitching on the edge is grey. We did purchase a rug mat to add extra softness and make it non slip, however it actually was thicker than I was expecting and the rug mat (for added cushioning) might not be necessary.
