This rug is visually beautiful and is exactly the right balance of colors. That being said- there is a terrible glue like odor that has not gone away. I've had this rug for almost 3 months and although its not as strong as it was it still has a very strong smell to it. I'm a fan of wellness oils and always have these dispersing thru out my home- the gluey smell now over powers the calm  smelling oils.
