We received this rug on time and it was well wrapped.  When we unrolled this rug, it did not want to stay flat and kept curling up on the edges.  We were not very impressed with the rug at first.  However, after flipping it upside down and rolling it up the opposite way and laying some books on the ends for a day, the rug now lays nicely.  Also, my children and my husband love to run their toes through this rug and I am constantly finding someone laying on it or sitting on it.  Now that it has had some wear and use (about a week), the rug lays nicely and has different silver colors to it depending on which way that part of the rug is laying.  We absolutely love this rug.  It adds the perfect amount of depth and style to the room without being loud or bold.
