Super cute rug! It helps brighten up my room. I did notice the mildew-ey smell that some people mentioned... however I think it was mostly the packaging (cardboard) that smelled. After I laid the rug out in my room and threw out the packaging, I have not noticed an odor in the room! Its simple enough, but the side tassels give it some uniqueness! Would recommend.

Edit: This rug is SO HARD TO CLEAN. I had a foster dog who ruined this rug within his 5 day stay at my house. The white cotton portion of this rug makes it impossible for stains to be removed... I've tried everything... If you do not have pets/kids this rug is amazing!! Just be warned.
