Love the rug! purchased the bleached ivory in 10x 14 for a client. Price was great for a large rug. Color is true to advertised. Its thick and comfy on 
the feet for a sisal style which can be crunchy. Smell dissipated fast. You can expect some smell with a natural fiber rug like this. I didn’t give it 5 stars because it did have a few loose “threads” that I trimmed with scissors and it does shed fibers. Again, I feel that’s to be expected with a natural fiber rug but it might bother some people Otherwise, Great rug for the price!
