Super cute design. Maybe just a little darker than in the photos, but absolutely perfect for our space. It had a new rug smell, but not a bad one - we left it outside for an afternoon to off-gas a bit, and then we left it for another day in an unused side room, and that seemed to do the trick. It's pretty plush for an inexpensive area rug, and seems to be super good quality. Couldn't be happier!
