Smells like rubber

I have had this rug for a couple of years now. Although it looks beautiful, it stinks! I believe it's one of the rugs made in India that gives off that burnt rubber smell. It's getting worse as time goes buy. Recently we had several people come into our home and ask what "that smell" is? I'm very disappointed that after paying over $600 for this rug I have to throw it out.

Runner Does Not Match Photo

I received this rug in the 2'3" x 8' runner size. I could not believe that it was the same rug. maybe the pattern is affected by the scale in going from the larger rug pictured, but while the picture shows a predominantly orange rug, the runner that I received was almost all dark olive, and the "branches" that are orange in the photo are very narrow and barely noticeable. It is a very nice rug, think and soft, but I will have to return.

Pleased

Rug is very plush and the colors are deep and fairly accurate compared to the photo. The sage is kind of taupe-like which initially disappointed me but now I've grown to prefer it, since it blends well with other colors. There is some shedding but it's not excessive and it's what you get with wool. I have it in my entry but it is very thick so I have had to move it away from my front door because of the thickness. Delivery was fast and I'm very pleased. I would order from Rugs Direct again.
