This rug is pretty, but it off-gassed terribly for an entire month. The first week I had it outside 24/7 but the weather changed so had to bring it in. Then had windows open and a fan going for the remaining weeks. I got so sick of it that I covered it in baking soda for 24 hours and then vacuumed it. That did remove a strange slickness from the fibers which I’m glad for. The state of California definitely finds this rug to be toxic. After that first month of poisoning, it’s fine and looks nice. But next to vintage wool rugs that are close to same price, I won’t by another new rug again.
