[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rug has a beautiful design and is true to the black and ivory color. Goes great with my black tables and TV stand. It's pretty thick and cushiony and soft on your feet. My cats even approved they immediately started lounging on it!

The good: Vibrant colors just like ad photo, came with anti-skid pad, did not smell of chemicals as some experienced, good value for money. The bad: It is definitely taking awhile for the rug to relax and lay flat. One reviewer said it took two weeks. I've had it one week and live in a dry climate. I am confident it will eventually lay flat as I've had a similar type rug in the past and it took a while also.

It is beautiful, but thin, so you will need to buy corner rug grippers to keep it flat and in place! We haven't had it but a few days, so won't know how it holds up for awhile, but we needed a new entrance room rug and this was perfect and beautiful, the colors just pop! :-)

updated review: this is an update for my previous review. After a week now the rug stays flat and it's looking perfect in my living room. I am more than happy with the purchase. The rug looks durable and is exactly what I was looking for. The color is bright and exactly as pictured. Overall I love it. Thank you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rug is absolutely perfect. The size is great for my living room. Its heavy enough that it doesnt slide around but light enough that it doesnt look bulky. It is in a very high traffic area in my house and doeant have any signs of wear yet. I also have cats and their hair vacuums up very easily from this rug. I will br purchasing a smaller one for my hallway too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Home Dynamix Premium Noire Area Rug! It is so beautiful and really well made! I keeps my hard wood floors safe while being beautiful at the same time! It made my gorgeous living room look even better! It blends in to my decor perfectly while protecting my floor at the same time. This is a really well made rug that will withstand all of the foot traffic and children in my home! I definitely recommend this rug to anyone looking to spice up their decor and/or protect their floors!

I needed a rug to cover damaged tile and this rug was perfect, it's doesn't make a bulky bulge over the missing tile and it disguises the area perfectly. The color and design are attractive and the material is fade proof. i am pleased with the purchase and the price was low for such a handsome rug.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the pattern on this - and that is just the beginning! It is a really great quality area rug and has already been super easy to clean (we have 2 toddlers) but just lightly wiping with a cloth. It isn't a thick plush carpet but great for everyday use and makes my dining room more appealing and gave it an instant upgrade! Very happy with the rug and would definately recommend!

I purchased 4 of these carpets: two of the 4'x 5', an 8' x 10' and the 9'2" x 12'5". All of these carpets were received rolled up except the largest one, the 9'2" x 12'5". This last one was folded in half length wise and then repeatedly folded from on end to the other. Anyone who know anything about carpets knows you never fold a carpet, always role up the carpet. This causes a problem in getting the carpet to lie flat. The trick in gettting a carpet to lie flat is to unroll it and then role it back up opposite the way it was rolled up when you received it --- first from one end and then repeating form the other end and squeezing it gently as you roll. Then roll it out top side up and work the ends binding the carpet under so they lie flat. This procedure usually works pretty well for the most part if the carpet is rolled up. If it is folded this doesn't work. In my case the larger carpet which was folded lies flat for the most part but still has several areas where it does not. So just be prepared for this problem if you buy the larger 9'2" x 12'5" size carpet. As for the smell other reviewers complained about, I only noticed a slight smell which quickly disappeared. Considering the low price, I would say the quality is very good and the colors and design are very nice indeed.

If. You. Have allergies you need to be careful, because the dyes used in rug emit a Strong smell. I had to air rug out 3 days before I could be in same room. Then we had rainy days and the strong dye reeked pungent again. Now dry days here and rug lies pretty and colorful and no odor. Just want to say be careful if you have allergie
