I needed a large rug that I would not be broken-hearted if the dog barfed on it. This rug fit's the bill. The rug arrived quickly after I ordered it and looks just like the online image. It smelled a little and was fairly creased when I first opened the package. I have had it out for a few days and the smell is gone and it has flattened out nicely. It is not the highest quality, but I I cannot complain about an 8'x11' rug for under $100!
