We purchased this rug for our dining room that has dark hardwood floors.  The contrast that this rug provides against the dark floor is beautiful.  It came well wrapped and unrolled nicely.  It did have an odor when it was opened but that was gone in a day or two.  The colors of the rug are softer, more muted in color than those pictured on the website.  We're really pleased with the quality of our rug - great value!!
