Colors true to picture and only one corner slightly curled upon unrolling which disappeared after placing a 5 lb  dumbbell on it overnight. Delivered as scheduled and have received several unsolicited compliments on how beautiful the rug is  how good it looks in our open style L.R. We did not need a pad even though it’s on a tile floor and it is very comfortable and soft underfoot. Have  been walking on it daily for over more than a month and it still looks    feels as good did the day we rolled it out. Very satisfied with both the purchase and our Wayfair experience.
