I love the look, style and colour of this rug. This is 5 star!   A major draw back for me is it has a strong chemical smell.   I had it hanging in my garage for two weeks hoping the smell would dissipate. I put it in my entrance way but unfortunately the smell hasn't gone away.   Not sure how long it will take for the smell to go away? This makes it a 3 star!  I purchased Air Purifying Bags to see if they will help with the smell?   I have used these bags previously for other reasons and they worked well.  Hopefully they will work for the rug!  It is a lovely rug would hate to not be able to use it!
