Awesome rug! High quality, edge of all planets are recessed into the carpet for more dimension and adds lots of character. Would be good for boy or girls room. I’m pairing with navy, but would also be cute with more feminine colors. The purple is featured often in this rug- I would prefer less. Pink would stand out if other items in the room were pink as well. Pink chair for reference. All edges lay flat, very little smell has aired out mostly. Thick enough to not need a pad though I imagine it would move if there wasn’t furniture holding it in place.
