Came promptly and very well packaged (rolled with ends well sealed). No odor other a faint smell of new carpet which dispersed within a day. Lies flat along the long sides. Corners and short sides curl very slightly, with minimal rippling, both of which are decreasing daily.
A very pretty rug. Very versatile. Description online is accurate. Colors are bright without being garish - blue ranges from deep cobalt to pale grey ish teal. ‘Orange’ ranges from deep rust to pale rose. It in NO way evokes a South Western palette.
Back ground is cream with pale taupe streaks but remains crisp and bright.
Rug is soft but not thick. Rugs like this ALWAYS slip on wood floors so unless it’s anchored by furniture it will need a pad.  underneath.
