Contact with suppliers couldn’t have been better! They let me know there might be a slight delay in shipping under the current circumstances, but there was barely any delay, if any.
The rug smells a little strange, but I know from past purchases of jute that this is temporary. The only minor problem is that the rug is a little thicker than advertised (3/4” instead of 1/2”), so it is catching under the front door in the entryway. However, I anticipate this to also be temporary once it gets tamped down by foot traffic. (I’ve also put two 5lb hand weights and two full gallon jars of coins on the leading edge of the rug, so I’m hoping that will hasten the process). Otherwise, the rug is just perfect, the color is exactly as represented and it’s comfortable enough to step on barefoot. Very good quality merchandise.  Would definitely order from this company again. Thanks
