We bought this rug for our teenage son's room. It looks great and meets our expectation in terms of color, shape and size. However, it came with a very strong smell that we still have not been able to eliminate--a combination of musty (like it was sitting in a damp storage facility) and chemical. We have vacuumed and used carpet freshners and cleaners, which have disguised the smell temporarily but not eliminated it. I am giving it a little longer but will return it if I cannot eliminate the smell. It is strong enough to affect not only my son's bedroom, but the hallway and other areas of the house near his room. This is disappointing since we like the rug. This experience also makes me hesitant to purchase other large items like this on Wayfair
