Was a little nervous about buying this rug online but it was packaged very well and when we opened it and rolled it into place it laid flat right away. It is a beautiful rug that looks great with my dining set. The variation in depths, color and type of carpet makes this rug look plush and expensive. I receive alot of compliments on the rug. I have two elderly Shi Tzu's and a cat and they have had accidents on the rug and it has cleaned up nicely. Highly recommend, you get a great product at a great price.
