This rug is very well made and thick. The shag is long and feels great under your feet. The colors are true..off white with a true muted pink. 
The rug had a very strong chemical smell. Most likely from the backing. It took a week for it to lessen. Im sure in time it will be gone. The rug had very secure packaging and protective covers for the ends. It also flattered out within  a couple of days.
