Love it!! We have a hodgepodge of furniture including antique dark wood nightstands and dresser against a modern gray bed frame. I’ve struggled to pull the two looks together but this rug made it happen! I don’t have a mat underneath it and haven’t noticed any issues. It’s soft and camouflages my dogs hair pretty well until vacuum day. It did smell a bit when it arrived so we aired it out for two days, febreezed it, and gave it a quick vacuum and everything was fine.
