Very disappointed in this rug.  I've bought so many from Wayfair and this one is a big miss.  The pile is soft, but it already looks 'old' and even after being down for awhile the edges don't lay flat.   But, the worst part is the overwhelming smell.  I've aired it outside, vacuumed it repeatedly, etc. and the smell is just awful.  It's a very strong chemical kind of smell.  So bad that I'll probably have to just throw it out.
