I waited quite a  while for this rug to come back in stock, and I'm sure glad I did!  Once it came in, shipping was immediate and I had it within days of  receiving the in stock notice.  It was wrapped well and rolled tightly, but about 36 hours upside down on the floor and it flattened nicely with no curling.     The colors are true to the photo and a perfect complement to both my stone leather sofa and navy love seat. It has a soft, deep pile and the the fabric has a bit of a sheen to it that heightens it's look of quality.  It vacuums nicely and I've had minimal shedding. I am not using a rug pad under this, and so far it's not an issue.  This is a great buy and I'm happy I waited!
