We got the 7x7 square for our living room and we love it. It's soft and has enough cushion to be comfortable. The other reviews are correct in that it is not as white as it looks in the pictures; however, the off-white/light beige works in our space. Our rug did not have any kind of odor and we didn't have to air it out. Also, it only took overnight for the rug to resume its normal shape. We are usually very skeptical about the quality of things we buy online, but we took a chance and this one paid off. Very happy with the purchase.
