I really like this rug!  It's much softer than it looks, it feels nice under the feet.  It had a nice earthy smell to it when I opened the wrapping, and its staying together nicely.  My only problem with it is that it has a ton of very fine dust trapped in it.  I shook it out when I first received it, which got rid of a lot of it, but I'm still having to pick it up and sweep underneath it.   Overall I would recommend this rug.
