I like the rug, but I feel I it’s a bit overpriced. It looks real for the most part. It came slightly darker than what the pics show. The brown is a dark brown with some black in it and was hoping it to lean a little lighter to match some Cognac leather poufs. No smell or defects out of the box. It is laying over a brand new carpet, so there are some bumps that haven’t worked out yet. Not sure if it would be better over hardwood. Overall good rug, but bc it’s so thin, I would’ve been happier paying about half of what I did.
