This rug is lovely.  Well made and absolutely no smell.  It arrived very well packaged.  I was nervous about purchasing a rug without touching and feeling and seeing it up close.  But everything is good.  It has a little more white in it than I anticipated but it looks great in the space. It is nice and thick and it is shedding a bit but really not bad at all. 
I chose the large one (11.5 x8.5) and it is perfect.  Excellent price for this kind of quality. Very happy with this purchase.
