This rug is exactly what I expected and nothing short of beautiful! The colors are vibrant and the initial quality has exceeded my expectations. I've only had the rug for a week so I can't speak to its longevity. It flattened out quickly and didn't give off too much of an odour upon unpackaging and shipping was quick, the rug actually arrived a day earlier than expected. The packaging was also sufficient to protect it from the harsh weather of a Canadian winter! I highly recommend it to brighten up a room and will be a return customer!!
