This is an impressive "rug." I put rug in quotes because I don't want anyone to get the idea this is like carpet. It isn't. I knew this. One person wrote in their review how it feels so soft. Huh? It's not course and does feels great under bare feet, but I am not sure I would call it soft. It's closer to a doormat than carpeting and I mean no disrespect. I'm just talking texture. It's a natural fiber. What I love about it: durable, big size for the price, nice neutral color/pattern, looks fantastic. It's a nice look that compliments a hardwood floor rather than being something obviously laying on top of it. It also has a great rubberized material on the bottom of it and once in place it does move at all. The only negative would be the slight bumps from being rolled up which is true of every rug I have ever bought and eventually they smooth out. *fingers crossed. There is a minor smell, but it's just like hay as another person described it. It's natural fiber! To be expected. Highly recommend this rug.
