This rug turned out to be just right.  And this is after I had tried another rug (thanks to Wayfair for their generous return for store credit policy).  The greens are a beautiful shade and the pattern gives it something special.  Above all, I appreciate that the green shade is what I expected per the photo.  I think the green goes well with all the leaves we can see outside the windows.  The previous rug had too much olive and yellow, but this one is perfect.  I bought the 8x11 size (yes, an unusual size, I'm glad it is offered in this rug) after the previous 9x12 rug seemed to big.  I took the attached photo just minutes after placing it, and some of the wrinkles are still visible, but the rug has mostly relaxed now less than 24 hours later.  And the rug is soft and thick.
