I love my new rug! It's not too thick, but still feels soft under my feet and is comfortable to sit or lay on. It arrived packaged in plastic and easily unrolled into the space I wanted it in. It smells like "new rug" at first, but the smell fades over a few days. The colors are bright and vibrant and I actually like the red trim! I purchased the 8x10 size and it really brightens up the whole room! I have the rug under a large piece of furniture, so it doesn't move too much, but if you are going to put it in an open area, you might want to add rug tape to your order. :)
