Delivery was a day quicker, which I was pleased about as I had been looking at this rug for some time.
Came in plastic packaging. There was a small hole on one side of it, which may have been the cause of the marks on the underside of the rug. Once opened, it rolled out quite nicely and did not take too long to flatten.
The yellow colour was brighter than I expected and at either end, on opposite sides, the rug was shaded in a light brownish colour. Overall the colours complimented each other and I was very pleased with it. Unfortunately, for me I also liked the underside of the rug as in the daylight it showed a very slight shimmer, but due to the two small marks on it, I have left it the right side up, but not a problem. My pictures show two the right side up and two the underneath.
