BEWARE if buying a larger size.  This is a beautiful nice cotton rug, I bought smaller one for kitchen, came in perfectly.   I just received a second one (2x7) which I purchased to match.  Smells so moldy, thankfully it fits in the washing machine.  However, it is now in its third round in the heavy cycle with so much oxyclean i might damage the fibers.  The mildew smell in the washroom and house is so bad I had to turn on fan and open windows.   If you ordered this in a large size it would be unusable in the home unless you took it to a dry cleaners, and at this point, I’m wondering if this smell will come out at all. It is a really nice quality nice looking rug.  However if you have allergies or are mold sensitive, or dont want to chance a dry-cleaning bill that may or may not work, stick with the smaller sizes.   I give my smaller rug I first purchased a 5 star.
