As pretty and joyful as expected even in a hallway with no windows.  Super cute and sweet.  Very neat and tight presentation with crisp edges (no bevel) all around.  Its wool, so it smells like wool - it’s been a few weeks - it may take a while to fully air out. 

The major drawbacks 
the hand-tufting  pile is super dense with no give when stepped on - so it’s not very comfortable.  
The crisp edge makes the overall height a more of a trip hazard than i would like. Kind of feels like a big ‘ol hunk a rug.  
Absolutely need skidslip resistant type of something or other.  
It is still cute tho.
