Love this rug! It added the perfect amount of “oomph” for our small living room. Made the area feel more complete and our little pup loves it too! The rug is more a bluegray and ivory. Doesn’t bother me the rug looks so good and is pretty soft. Chemical smell lasted only a day, after unfolding it laid flat pretty much instantly. I used a sticky to hold it in place on the edges. I included a before and after of the area we put it in. Super affordable and was quoted 2-3 week delivery and it came in 2-3 days! Super fast and I can’t be more pleased with it! The size I purchased was 5x7 which is small but I didn’t need that much floor coverage due to our small place. Would purchase again for a bigger living room!
