Color and pattern of the rug is beautiful. Shag is very nice. I was disappointed in the way it arrived. The rug was rolled in an odd manner that caused a wrinkle in the rug that will not come out. The rug also was not rolled flat on the end and has a fold we cannot get out that prevents it from laying flat. Would be a great rug, especially for the price, if we can get the wrinkles out.
