I absolutely love this rug. It’s so soft and makes the room feel so much homier. It did have a bit of a smell when I first opened it up but I laid it out and the smell was gone within a few hours (although I did also have an air purifier running nearby, not sure if that makes a difference). The inside edge was also a little curled up so I put some books across that edge to flatten it out and even after a few minutes I noticed it was flattening out nicely. 

It admittedly does seem like it may be a pain to clean more often with the shag but that’s an acceptable trade off to me with how soft and comfortable it is. I make excuses to walk across it bc I love the feel on my feet. I got the green one for my bedroom but already considering the yellow for my living room…
