This rug is absolutely beautiful but the smell is really strong but other than that it was a good buy. I just hope that the smell of it will air out!

Update
I used some baking soda as well as carpet deodorizer powder and the area that has the carpet no longer has that strong smell!! It just takes a few days for the carpet to air out. I would recommend to open the carpet up when you get it if possible and apply baking soda to it and let it sit there for awhile and repeat this up to 2x. If there’s windows open them up to ventilate the room. If you can get over the initial short term smell then this rug is perfect !
