The the pattern on this rug is not as pronounced as the photos would have you believe. I’ve tried photographing this rug in bright, dim, and ambient light, and I’m unable to reproduce what I see online. There is a strong chemical-like smell when you first unroll this rug. The material is okay, not lush, but doesn’t feel overly cheap. The tassels came in good condition. It’s definitely not what I was expecting.
