I honestly LOVE everything about this rug! Beautiful workmanship, gorgeous light and grayish toned blue, and made of all natural fibers. I agree with the other review saying it is surprisingly soft. I am sensitive to any kind of chemical smell and was concerned that it might have some kind of smell but it did not. I bought the 4 x 6 and it is definitely worth every penny. Vacuuming it might be a challenge because the fibers are thick and therefore there are gaps between the weaves that could trap dust and small debris so a vacuum with a suction attachment might be the best to clean this rug.
