1. Zero odor to this rug
2. Well made, soft, sturdy, thick
3. Very fun pattern, beautiful.
4. Took one star off for color. In most pictures it looks a few shades lighter than it actually is.  I think a few reviewers mentioned this.  The outermost part of pattern lightens-does it get lighter shades with larger sizes Even in my photo, it appears lighter cream at the edges-it is NOT. It is more of a light-medium camel color. I still love it, it just clashes with the paint color on my walls, which I am unable to change or I would…for this rug!
