Overall, for 40 (5x7), Im pleased with the rug. Itspretty thin, but the nap is surprisingly soft and quite cozy on bare feet. Also, there was hardly any odor at all. We put it straight in the bedroom and so far, no one is complaining about the smell. That said, Im only giving it 3 stars instead of 4 for two reasons

1) Color is not true to image or description. The colors are very saturated and the darkest color in the rug is a deep black, not dark brown, as shown. If you need a more muted, strictly earth tone colorway, this rug isnt for you.

2) The backing is HORRENDOUS! Its rough like a 40-60 grit sandpaper and it flakes everywhere. Im using it under a bed in a carpeted room, but I definitely would not be comfortable putting it directly on hardwood for fear it would scratch the wood. Yeah, its that bad.
