I had high hopes for this rug but it fell short. Its much thinner than I thought it would be and not very soft (I was not expecting plush). It has a very cheap feel underfoot.  Ive had rugs that were half the price that felt and looked nicer. The smell while it has been off-gasing (for weeks now) is horrendous and gave me a headache several times. The smell has dissipated somewhat but it unfortunately still smells. It does look ok from a distance. We have it under a sectional and its mostly covered up. Overall I would not recommend this particular rug. And I suggest if you do purchase it to be ready to air it out for a month in a ventilate room.
