The rug has nice colors like the online photo. When it arrived the whole rug was wet. It even left wet marks on the bare floor. It smelled so bad I had to put it outside. After 2 days in the screened porch it was still damp and smelled. On day 3 I swept the driveway and put it in the sun for about 10 hours. It still had an odor but it was weak enough to bring it in the house. I stayed out of the room for several days and it seems to be better. The smell was chemical. It does add a bit of color to the room.
