I was concerned about what other reviewers had pointed out about the smell and the carpet not laying flat. We have had the carpet for 5 days now. It will not lie flat and shows ridges where it was folded for shipping. The off gassing smell is really bad, we have opened windows and patio doors, as soon as they are closed the house smells like chemicals.Unfortunately this rug has been a disappointment. I will update this review in a week or two if the problems with the rug remedy themselves (carpet lays flat, and smell goes away)
