This is a truly beautiful rug and yes I would definitely buy it again.The texture is so soft, and the colors are so inviting. However, it smells horrible! The smell is some sort of chemical like concoction which leaves you breathless. It smells like that tar smell from when they repave the roads. When I first received it, I had unrolled it and laid it out nicely in our great room. The smell was very noticeable but I figured it would "air out" after a couple of days. It's now been over a week and I can't even let my dogs on it for fear they would be harmed by whatever chemicals were used in the making of this rug. It was such a strong smell that we couldn't even enjoy sitting around it and watching TV. I finally had to have it cleaned. I'm really hoping that it will work now because I really do love this rug. I just wish I didn't have to go through such extremes to able to enjoy it!
