This rug is gorgeous.  First of all it arrived packaged so well.  It arrives rolled up and wrapped in plastic.  The ends are covered to prevent damage and the entire rug is wrapped in heavy duty plastic.  Unwrapping was very easy, and it took it and laid it out on the floor.  Since it is rolled up, you should give it some time to stretch out and lose the tightness of the roll.  The patterns and color are gorgeous.  The base of the rug is a very light beige/taupe and it can compliment any decor.  The pattern is a distressed geometric pattern in grey.  It really looks beautiful in our family room.  I am really happy with the quality and design of the rug.  It is a good think rug with strong binding on the edges.  Very happy so far with our new addition.
