I bought this rug because it was exactly what I was looking for: priced well, minimalist, and lots of sizes to choose from. I ordered it 2 months ago and stored it in my spare bedroom ahead of moving into a newly constructed home. Finally moved in, I unpackaged the rug to discover that it had the most pungent smell and I don’t know how to get rid of it! As someone who has purchased other wool rugs, I have never had this issue!
