Overall, I am very disappointed with this rug.  It arrived timely and  love the color  - that was good.    However, it really smells - still after 3 months. Also, it won't stop leaving a sandy film on the floor beneath it.  I keep lifting the carpet (8x10 so it's heavy) and cleaning underneath but its like it was made on the beach.  Also there were literally small sticks poking out of it that I had to pull out when it first arrived and knots that I had to poke through to the underside.  Really disappointing and  I should have returned it but got busy with Christmas - so here we are, stuck with it. If you buy it, you're taking a chance because clearly some folks have had a great experience with this rug. Just not me.
