I really love this carpet, it was a good price and the quality is much better than I expected. No chemical smell at all. 6x9 was delivered rolled up, I "reverse rolled" the inside for about an hour and it flattened right out. I bought a 1/4" felt nonskid rug pad for underneath, and the whole setup feels quite plush underfoot. I'm so glad I took the time to find this one, for me it's the "Goldilocks" rug - just perfect for what I wanted. Beautiful shades of cream, beige, sage, rust and black.
