Good rug, excellent color scheme, light, spreads flat, does not skid, and minor dirt particles do not stand out... good value for the price.  You cannot really tell it's synthetic unless you bent down and inspect it closely.  The fabric darkens when you step on it the "wrong" way, and needs to be brushed back to show the lighter side of the threads, but the color scheme covers that.  Blends nicely on a light-colored hardwood floor.  The initial odor disappeared in two days.  Does not shed much.  Had it for a week, too early to tell how it will wear.  The tag said made in Belgium. Delivery was timely. Overall, so far so good.
