This rug is beautiful! The color is nice and light, a perfect robin's egg blue. It is thin with a shorter, tighter weave, but is still really soft. It will be perfect in my bedroom on our new laminate floors. I only have it 4 stars because it has a pretty strong odor when you roll it out. We've had it for about a week now and there's still a noticeable difference in the scent of that room compared to the space outside the room. I think this is normal for a new rug, just off-gassing. Its not a bad smell, just a very strong "new rug" smell. Hopefully this will go away over time.
