I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I will say I am more than pleased with these rugs! They arrived when they were supposed to and right out of the packaging they lay almost perfectly flat. they have a nice soft backing so no need for a rug pad, unless you just want extra softness. The color is beautiful, just like the picture if not better. I love color and lots of it so these were an awesome find, and for the money you will not find better! I whole heartedly give these rugs 5 STARS!
