The rug itself is absolutely beautiful and very soft. I LOVE everything about the look of the rug but unfortunately, it's in my garage airing out right now. Since I have put the rug in my bedroom I woke up feeling sick, nauseous, with a headache. The chemical smell is so strong that even if I'm just in the for an hour or so I feel worn out, achy, nauseous, with a headache. This is with airing it out for 2 days with windows open and 2 hepa air filters sitting on top of the rug. I looked it up and a lot of times the glue they use on rugs in china has very harsh chemicals that are toxic to breathe in. I haven't confirmed this with the manufacturer and will be calling to look into it more but as of now I can't use the rug in my bedroom. I'm dissapointed because I absolutely love it.
