Arrived faster than expected. I wanted the red, but it was back ordered for 3 months, so I decided on the black, because it still has red in it. The colors are rich and beautiful. Sized correctly (7'10" x9' 10"). I placed it over wood floors and it needed no pad. Very soft to walk on. Seems to be heavy and durable. The quality feels like a more expensive rug. Rolled out smoothly and once anchored by desk and bookcase, it lay flat with no ripples. We are very pleased with this rug.
