This rug is perfect! Not only do I love the design but the quality is phenominal. I originally purchased this rug in the 2x6 length and realized it was too short once it arrived. I bought the 2x8 size without question before I even returned the other one. This rug is in a high traffic area and so far is holding up well. It had a bit of an odor to it when I unrolled it but nothing too offensive and I sprayed it with some meyers clean house spray and now there is no odor at all. I got a non slip mat as well and its perfect. I highly recommend this rug.
