Lovely, no issues.
We received our rug quickly and rolled it out. It laid flat within a day, and the "barn smell" our children complained about at first dissipated within a few days. The colors are lovely. There is a 1" grayish binding at either end on the short sides.
I was expecting shedding, but after a week and the usual traffic of pets and kids, haven't had any issues with that. It is hairy and I've included a picture of the hairiness around the edges (which doesn't bother me at all, but might bother others). We put a Mohawk Dual Surface Rug Pad (from Overstock) under it and it's knobbly but soft to walk on, not hard at all. It's an easy casual rug if you want a relaxed, imperfect space. We love it.
I have noticed several reviews on other Safavieh jute rugs mentioning a "sand" or "silt" problem under the rugs and luckily haven't had that issue yet. After a week of foot traffic, I've taken a photo of the floor under the rug. I'm confident that if I'd had a significant issue like that, then Great Offer Stock would have resolved it. Their customer service is very good.
