I read a lot of reviews how wonderful this rug was. I also saw some reviews wrote the rig had an odor like of a basement/mold but after a few days of airing it out it went away.. we received in and ugh, the odor smelts up my ENTIRE house! It smelt like 100x potent mold .. but there was no mold.. we put it in our garage and it smelt up our garage, so we put it outside and you could actually smell it while outside too. I’m also upset that it left a very STRONG residual odor in the bedroom it was at as well. I contacted customer service and gosh they were AMAZING.. probably the only reason I’m giving it 3 instead of 1 Star. They’re sending out a new one pronto and offered a discount. I’m excited and hopeful we won’t have the same issue.. I’ll update then.
