Arrived smelling like it had been dip in a vat of death , old milk, grandmas cellar, and an open wound during war time. I only opened a two inch hole to start the opening process and I fell back and hit the wall due to the pungent blow of carcass rot hit me directly in the face. Rug is from India.

LOVE this rug! Admittedly am obsessed with herringbone, and also a textured “braided” rug. My dogs have been laying and nesting on this thing for the past few weeks and no snags yet, so definitely woven well. It doesn’t have a nonslip backing but given my space, I don’t need it (and personal preference is no to rug pads).
