So be aware that this rug is not by “latitude run” but really comes from Safavieh. My experience with Safavieh rugs is that any 9 x 12 rug has been in a wet part of the warehouse and has grown mold. Every single 9 x 12 rug I have gotten from Safavieh over the last two months has smelled like mold. So I deliberately avoided getting another and lo and behold, although not disclosed in the description, this rug is from Safavieh! Buyer beware about this size rug. We’ve gotten other rugs from Safavieh of different sizes and do not have the mold smell. It’s only with the 9 x12s. ￼￼
