I ordered this set to go on top of  all white wall to wall carpet. I have dark brown furniture in my basement and the contrast looks great. I would suggest that when you receive this set to unroll it and then roll it back up in the reverse direction for a day or two. I initially tried laying it flat but couldn't get the wrinkles out but trying this worked great.

Pros: Great Value, looks great, exactly as shown.
Cons: None
