It's a lovely rug, but ours smelled so musty and moldy that we had to return it. As you can imagine, repackaging a 9x12' rug for return is not easy (although we were able to set up a FED EX pickup once we repackaged it according to the representatives instructions). We did try the usual recommended trick of covering the carpet in baking soda -- went through four boxes of the stuff -- and ten hours later after vacuuming, it still filled the room with a smell so musty that we couldn't sleep in the room. I wouldn't by anything from Safavieh again as a result. No new rug should smell like a damp moldy basement.
