This is a beautiful rug and it is heavy.  It lays down flat right out of the shipping tube. This was important to me because I had ordered a different one and it arrived folded and didn't lay flat.  The colors are pretty accurate in the picture and will look nice with several different pieces of furniture.  I am putting it with a charcoal sofa and my entertainment system is a pecan color.  It looks nice with it.  My husband even likes the rug and he's difficult to please.  lol  The only thing to be aware of is that it will take several vacuuming jobs to have the fibers from the new rug stop shedding.  Overall, I would buy this rug again in a heartbeat.
