I shopped around for a while for an area rug like this one but couldn't find one in my price range until I found this.   The price was right and I couldn't believe the amazing quality when it arrived.  I thought it was going to be faux because the price was so much cheaper than others, but it's real.  It did have an odor when it first arrived, which got my dog really excited.  But the odor came out from sitting it in the sun and using some Febreeze.
