I am glad I chose this rug. It compliments my decor and the colors are close to the pictures online.  It arrived well wrapped and after I layed it down in the living room  2 sides of the carpet needed to be weighed down  at the edges for a couple of days, but now  the whole carpet lays flat. I also purchased a carpet pad slightly smaller that the rug itself to protect the floor underneath. This also makes the carpet softer to walk on. I am very happy with my purchase and glad my search for the perfect carpet is over.
