It perfectly accents the room and ties all of the elements together. For a very low price, we were able to achieve our design goals! We did off-gas the rug for three nights on our balcony and then, sprinkled baking soda and let it sit for five hours, then vacuum before laying the rug down as I am extremely sensitive to chemical smells. It worked and we kept fans going in the room for a few days to complete the process. For a synthetic rug, this is an absolute must!
