Looks better than I thought it would, especially given the great price!  Nice plush rug, and definitely sheds even with very little traffic. I hesitated because of the tassels, but they make the rug look more interesting in a good way.  No smell with my rug.  The rug makes the room look great! Color of the picture is accurate.  The rug is an off-white, not creamy and not stark white.  

Pros: Great value, delivered on time, looks great, looks just like the picture.
Cons: Sheds
