This rug came in a day early which I was inpressed with. The rug is exactly as shown in the main photos. It is taking a while to flatten out though on one end. Also, it is a thin rug. If there is nothing anchoring it down, such as a coffee table, you will absolutely need a rug mat underneath. Love the rug, well worth it for the price I paid. The rug is modern, but just light enough where it doesn't take away from anything else in the room.
