Love this area rug by Gertmenian. I ordered the ivory which is beautiful. The fibers are super soft and vacuum very well (pet friendly too). No odors, easy to flatten out and the weave around the edges is done well. I took off a star because there are some of the rug fibers that stick out a bit and after vacuuming I noticed a few more. It looks like lint on the carpet but when I try to pick it up it is connected. It's a little annoying because I wonder if the rug will hold up over time and not have any areas where fibers will pull out and leave a void. Time will tell. For right now, I still love the rug and recommend it.
