I'm really happy with how this rug turned out!  It had a faint smell upon opening but that went away pretty quick, especially after laying it out.  It is thick so make sure you measure the space between your floor & door and cross reference the pile height.  This rug is surprisingly soft and vacuums nicely, though it seems a few sprigs are starting to come loose.  I'm still very happy with it and it's holding up nicely as an entryway rug that gets heavy foot traffic.
