The rug is very nice, I like the color and it suits our small den/office.   It didn't take long to flatten, the part that took the longest being the inside of the roll which I placed under the sofa.  I liked the roll way of packaging.   I should add the one  picture also shows  the sofa/recliner slip cover  purchased from Wayfair not long ago, and the colour pairing of these two items go well together.
