The rug arrived earlier than scheduled, in excellent condition, rolled in heavy plastic with protective end caps.
I noticed that some reviewers had mentioned the colors were not as pictured, however I did not find this to be 
true. If you look at the picture, the rug is located in bright sunlight and the colors are very distinct, if you have 
the rug in a darker room with less light it will appear more brown. Overall a quality rug with good thickness and density.
Upon opening and setting in place there was a slight odor, probably from the dies that has disappeared in the past couple
of days. I am satisfied with the purchase, it was exactly what I was expecting and seems like it will be durable.
