Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This rug appeared very plush and a perfect size upon opening it. But the odor was awful!! Since I made sure to purchase a washable rug, I washed it as directed. It came out with the gripping part all bunched together and the layer between that and the actual rug all clumped together and small white bits coming out all over me, the dark brown rug, my dark brown puppy and the floor. The gripping material was easily straightened out, but I can't believe the lumpy mess it is now! I would like to return it, but sad because it would be great if this didn't happen. (The smell is much better after washing just FYI.)
