Wonderful rug! I had to open all the windows and keep them open for about 48 hours to get rid of the “chemical” smell that the new rug has. The rug is beautiful, cozy, my bare feet are in paradise when I walk on it. It’s a bit darker than I thought, and one big area on it is more gray-ish by design. I thought it would be white or ivory color, but it’s darker, as if sprayed with a thin layer of light gray. I bought this rug for our librarychillartroom, and it fits wonderfully! Love it
