This was the perfect and simply piece for under my dining room table. It finishes the room perfect without distracting from everyone else. When I received it there was a very strong 'natural' odor to it. I had to shake it off outside and immediately laid it under the table. The odor went away within a few hours. I especially love the fact that the backing of this rug has the rubber beads that keeps it from moving and doesn't require a rug pad on my hardwood floors!  

Pros: Great value, looks beautiful!
Cons: Rough natural texture - not something I would want in a living room or area with heavy traffic. I have it under a dining table and love it.
