This rug is beautiful! Was a little afraid of shedding but so far not too bad. The biggest problem is that it stinks! Bad!! Has a horrible "musty" smell that made our entire living space stink! Ended up having to remove the rug from the room. Trying to "air it out" now. Hoping it gets tolerable enough to put back in our bedroom, as it would not be possible to sleep in the same room with this rug unless it improves dramatically. Very disappointing. I'll take any suggestions from other buyers on how you resolved this.

July 19 Update: After airing out this run for a couple of weeks, the small dissipated considerably. Much better, and it looks really nice in our master bedroom.
