The colors on this rug are vivid & wonderful, just as pictured. The workmanship on the weaving is very good. However, one flaw is that there is no backing,  thus rug will not lay flat. I purchased the round & it wrinkles up in the center. I have put a rug liner under it & stretched & vaccumed to get the center stretched out. I'm hoping with time, it will lay flat. It's like the center part is too smart for the outer rim. This rug definitely needs a backing. The rectangle shapes may not have the same issues. I'm afraid this is going to kick up when walked on & I do have it in a large hall. However, for now I am keeping & hoping for the best. Rug has potential to be wonderful but needs a little revision. Delivery was perfect as always from Wayfair. UPDATE: AFTER RUG HAD BEEN IN PLACE FOR A FEW WEEKS, IT DID SETTLE DOWN & LAY FLAT. IT IS GREAT NOW. HOWEVER, YOU WILL STILL DEFINITELY NEED A RUG PAD UNDER IT.
