This rug is fantastic for the price! So many reviews describe it as “cheap” but for 100 can you really expect the same quality as a 1000 rug  The colors are bold and the pattern is fantastic.  It’s slightly rough feeling but I suspect it will soften up after we are walking on it.  It took only a few hours to lay mostly flat and there was minimal odor. I purchased the 8x12 and really am happy with it.  If you are designing on a budget this rug is a great choice!
