OMG, my feet love my new rug! The 19 yr old cheap carpet my stingy landlord installed when I moved in has been ratty from the get go. I needed something under my computer chair. I roll it back and forth many times every day. Carpet showing its age. I wanted:1-- Light, neutral color to not distract me. Carpets and rugs in my work room, studio, need to blend.2 -- Need to see when I drop nails, screws, raisins, nuts. Hence, simple design.3 -- Soft soft under my usually bare feet. I live in a hot apt.4 -- Not chemically smelly, lightweight, affordable.5 -- BINGO!! LOVE my rug!I rolled it from the inside out, so the inside, which was tighly rolled, could relax. Left it that way for 6 hrs. Unrolled, perfect! Otherwise, heavy books on rolled up edges should flatten it in no time.How long will it last? No idea. But if a year or more, I'll be happy. Here's hoping for a long rug life.Thinking of getting another for doing yoga. My old carpet is so disgusting. Getting out yard sticks to measure. This company, Safavieh, rocks!! Thanks!PS I looked on BBB. I've told them countless times (in person, phone, email), their search engine sucks (shows waaay too many irrelevant items) and what they have in stock is not online, shipping expensive. Plus more often than not, no one there to help when I walk the couple miles to their big store in West LA. Again, Amazon to the rescue! Oh this rug is soooo soft under my feet! I just wanna dance on it!
