EVERYTHING in my apartment is a cream color, walls & floor. I wanted something to break up the monotony, because I am not allowed to paint.  These rugs are perfect! I had read the reviews of some having trouble with ends not laying flat. I unrolled & then rerolled back the opposite way and let it sit awhile. Worked great for me. EZ to vacuum. I have a Beagle with hair that goes everywhere!! There was a slight smell for a little while, but nothing horrible/ Shipping was fast & delivered right to my door. Now I need a new recliner because my loveseat doesn't match my rug...lol Wayfarers website EZ to order & pay at.  I am a 67 year old female & very happy with this purchase.
