The rug arrived very quickly and was packaged well.  It looks great on the hardwood floors, and in front of my fireplace that has red, black and white in it.  It takes some time to truly flatten out, I put some weights on the corners. Putting tape down might help, but I think it's pretty much flat now.  I would recommend this if the colors work. It's also a good rug for putting a yoga mat on and exercising :)
