Exactly as advertised! Great quality, beautiful pattern, perfect pile height! The pictures were taken immediately after we unrolled the rug which shows you that it lays flat on the edges right out of the packaging. Shipping was lightening fast and the rug packaging wasn’t overboard yet protected the rug during shipping. Overall a fantastic experience! I used to pay a fortune for rugs from other stores, but no more! I will be shopping at Wayfair from here on out
