The rug looks very nice and natural, but maybe a little too natural. First thing I noticed when I unwrapped the plastic around the rug was that it had a mildew type odor and indeed the rug was moist. I unwrapped it the rest of the way and it was incredibly dirty as if it was stored out in the open for a week or two. Maybe the company who furnished the rug it to blame, or could be partly due to the company who delivered it. Great rug and looks amazing minus the odor and cleanliness issues.
