The rug did have a musty smell to it upon delivery, but a day hanging outside took care of that for the most part. The weight of the rug with a non slip padding under it, ensures it does not cause hazard on a wood floor.  Was concerned that the many colors would be a issue, but true to the picture the aqua dominant color is very nice, but is made more lively with the pinks, blues,white & blacks running through it.

Pros: Great value
