When I first unrolled it I was a little worried about the colours. But now that I have it in the room I am obsessed with it. It’s a lot softer than I thought it would be, and that is without a rug underlay. It is exactly the pop of colour we needed to bring the room together. When we unrolled it the ends were a bit curled, as expected. But we put some books on the corners and within an hour they were perfectly flat. It looks a little bit pixelated up close but that doesn’t bother me in the slightest. If you want an extremely crisp pattern this may not be the rug for you.
