This rug is BEAUTIFUL!!!! We absolutely love it and it is everything we were expecting for our master bedroom.  It does have an odor.  It was not noticeable at first.  We unrolled it in our living room to allow it to flatten and when we came home from work the next day the whole house smelled very strongly of the rug.  It's clearly a chemical type smell but to us it smelled very strongly of "weed".  It's taken weeks for the smell to sort of dissipate.  We finally moved it into our bedroom this past weekend after having it in our living area for over a month.  The odor is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars.
