I am very happy with my rug purchase!  The colors are perfect for our southwest home, and the ivory background is non-obtrusive and blends well with other furnishings.  It sheds when vacuuming but not in-between, and I did not notice any smells when I unrolled it or afterward.  I bought the 9x12 size, and at the affordable price offered it was still under $500!  Fast, free shipping also!  I can't really think of one negative to mention.
