Came just how it looks in the pictures slightly distressed from a color perspective but feels sturdy and well-made. I also really appreciated the packaging. It sounds like a dumb detail but this rug sat in front of our house for several hours in the rain before I got home and took it inside. It was double-wrapped and the edges of the packaging were tightly taped so despite the weather, the rug was bone dry. Definitely would buy this rug or another like it from the same manufacturer again.
