I bought this rug after checking numerous stores and really wanting to pick a rug out that I could see and touch first but the price on this was so good I decided to buy online. I was surprised by how fast it came and I did not have any odor like some experienced. Pros: soft, affordable, and fast. Cons: the rug is still slightly curled on one end but I haven't had it long and I hope it will lay flat after putting some chairs on it. I would definately buy it again.
