I am very pleased with this rug. In the 10 years I’ve been in this home, this is the fourth area rug I’ve purchased. Not because they have fallen apart, but I like to change my decorcolors frequently. Since I make frequent changes I don’t want to spend a lot of money on my accessories. This rug is an excellent value for the money. Very, very soft if you like to sit or lay on the floor. The colors are true to what I saw online. This rug laid flat immediately without any folds, wrinkles, or turned up corners. That’s a first for me! No funny smell. Please see the picture with my fingernail pushing into the pile. There really is no depth to the pile, but also no bare spots either. If you’re on the fence, I say get it!
