This carpet was shipped and delivered quickly. The rug was fully wrapped and well protected for shipping and rolled tightly. It unrolled easily and with just a quick ‘reverse roll’ to the ends it laid flat right away. It’s very soft and thick enough for the price. I marked it down a star because the color is not quite what I expected. I was hoping for a more vibrant aqua color but it’s really more like a steel blue. It seems to have more of a gray undertone than blue. Overall a good value, as long as the duller steel blue color works for you.works for you.
