I was so skeptical about buying a rug online, but didn't want to spend a small fortune in other stores. This was perfect for my space! I read through the reviews and didn't have any of the same issues... Corners all stay down (purchased a rug pad), true to color, and didn't smell weird like others said. it's not a cuddly and soft rug but I wasn't expecting it to be because I wanted something great for high traffic. It is a busy pattern, but a coffee table breaks up the dizzy effect. I love this rug in my living room.
