Love it.  It arrived a few days early.  No smell and laid flat in a few hours.  It works perfect in my dining room.  Grounds my dining room table and adds warmth.   The blue colour is true to the picture and blends in perfectly.  I'm not a fan of shag carpet but this isn't your typical shag rug.  I had purchased the cream and navy one for my living room a couple of months ago and they compliment each other.   I live in a condo and the living space isn't huge.   Would purchase the hallway runner if it came long enough.
