It arrived double/triple wrapped with cardboard cover ends - good protection and the rug showed up perfectly undamaged.  The color was spot on. The design had a unique pattern, and a modern & masculine appeal. I would give this rating 5 stars but I can't speak about quality just yet - too soon to tell if this rug will hold up well.  It doesn't feel like it's cheaply made so I'm crossing my fingers that this will last for a long time.
