I bought the carpet because of the good reviews here and was not disappointed. For the competitive price a really great carpet! He smelled a bit artificial at first, but that has subsided quickly. The carpet was a very short time completely smooth on the ground, although he was very tightly curled. The color is in the flesh exactly like the pictures. He is not so thick and high, as I know it from Shag rugs, but just as I wanted one, so I'm totally satisfied. Shipping + handling and lace, full recommendation.
