For the price, this rug is great! I was a little worried about the color as you never know if what you see online will be accurate, but the shade of green was exactly as pictured. I think it goes nicely with my other shades of green and really makes my living room pop. It’s very subtle shag which is what I wanted to help hide stains. It took about a day to flattened after putting weighs on the corners. I didn’t notice any smell either.
