I had been wanting to purchase this rug for a while and I ended up buying it on a sale day. I'm so glad I did. It's beautiful, looks just like the pictures, and is a really nice quality. There is a noticeable "new-rug" smell that is slowly dissipating. We've had it for about 2 weeks. I got a rug pad from IKEA and it's working well in my office on laminate flooring. Myy office chair rolls nicely with the thin rug pad underneath, and it also helps with vacuuming.
