I am pleased that the rug I received is what I see in the website photo. I purchased this in the beige/ivory and am pairing it with The Company Store Beekman coverlet in smoke blue. The blue in the rug could go to the teal side too, which I like about it.  I have had the rug a week and it's still airing out in my garage. I expect that on something like this. I'm very sensitive to chemical smells and am being cautious. When I had it in the house with windows open and a fan blowing, the smell was so strong after a few hours I could feel my lymph nodes swelling up and throbbing. That's when I moved it to the garage.  I will likely bring into into my bedroom tomorrow (nine days after delivery). I haven't vacuumed it yet, but it's wool so I know it will shed for some time. The rug looks high quality, which is what I wanted.
