Rug arrived horribly wrinkled and crushed at one end.  We smoothed it out and used heavy objects placed on boards to get the wrinkles out. This took several days.  The red shown on the web site is not the bright cherry red of the actual rug.  We were looking for a darker red but have decided to try and make this rug work.  The rug is pretty, though, and adds quite a pop of colour to the room.
