As other reviews have stated, the color was different than expected.  Ours was mostly tan with white spots. However, based on the reviews, I was prepared for that and it matches our decor.

It came folded in a surprisingly tiny box, but dewrinkled after being laid out. Factory smell took a couple of days to dissipate. 

The rug really is very pretty and so soft. I love walking on it. This was the lowest price I have seen for a cow hide rug, and I am so pleased with the quality for the price.

Pros: Good quality, shipped quickly, feels great, pretty color
Cons: Smell after opening
