Good overall.  Gave only 4 stars because the background color is not as crisp as it looks in the picture.  I would have preferred a slightly lighter, cleaner beige background.  I think it's heavy enough that it doesn't require an under-pad (I bought the 5x8 size).  It did have a smell when I first unwrapped it, but wool has a funny smell when damp or packed tightly so I wasn't surprised - It dissipated within an hour or so.  Oh, and with any new tufted rug, I did vacuum it thoroughly when I first put it down to remove all of the loose fibers.  Always surprising how much seems to vacuum up but again not a surprise and the rug looks nice.
