Happy with the rug. It’s better quality that those cheap thin shag rugs It is true 8’x8’ came as an 8’ roll not folded, creases came out, the edges are finely done but the corners can easily curl up. There isn’t a lot of weight to hold them down. working on flattening them.  The rug is mostly tones of gray and silver. It is darker in one corner but I like it. I have it on a maple floor under my round glass dining table with gray walls. A selling point was stains come out. It’s almost indooroutdoor durability. It’s nice to have under your feet at the table. Decided not to use the rug pad I bought. Keep it all flat walking from floor   
to rug. The steel slate gray silver  cream goes well with the wool zebra rug I have under the glass living room table.
