I received this rug very quickly and well wrapped but I never even opened the package.  I kept smelling mold/mildew in my house and finally discovered it was coming from this rug.  The exterior packaging had dark black areas on the plastic that smelled strongly of mold.  I was afraid the smell may have permeated the rug so I never opened it, knowing if the rug smelled moldy that I would never be able to re-package it, so UPS is picking it up today.  Apparently this had been stored in a damp, musty area.  Beachcrest Home rugs have such great patterns, textures, and prices but now I am afraid to purchase this brand.  I also received a Couristan rug the same day and that had clean packaging and no odor so obviously this came from a different location.  I can't really comment on the rug itself since I never unwrapped it.  It looked pretty through the plastic wrapping though...
