Rug is well made. Got the 8x10 size for my son's room. Flattened out quickly for the most part except one corner where he keeps stepping and folding it in. Shipping was super quick. The website told me two days and it came overnight. ITS NOT A SQUISHY RUG. So if you're looking for that you'll need a pad underneath. Area rugs aren't supposed to be squishy. But the fibers themselves soften within days. Vacuum it as soon as you lay it out to get the shag to stand. Smells at first but goes away after a day or two. The smell would go away faster if you open then windows in the room. No discoloration in the rug. My son loves it and it goes well with his room. This is a perfect dupe for one on pottery barn kids but it's $500 cheaper!!
