i love this rug, it is the perfect color and pattern that i have been looking for. it has taken me months to find the right rug. it is very low pile and easy to vacuum, making it pet friendly. its not the most comfortable but its not meant to be sat on. i think its the perfect fit for my space and seems pretty durable. it did have a bit of a smell when first unrolled but the sent has gone away within a day or 2 after spraying it with some air freshener
