I think this rug is absolutely adorable, but unfortunately it REEKS. It had a horrible chemical smell when I opened it, not at all what I want to be breathing in as a pregnant woman. Didn't want to put it in the nursery all stinky either, so right now it's outside on the deck to air out. It would've been nice if they had let it air out a little before wrapping it in plastic, but I can't wait until the smell is gone because I think it will look great!
