The rug was packaged very well with double plastic and cardboard around the ends to keep it protected. It also came very quickly no delay in shipment, but it’s a very thin almost like a carpet sample. It’s a very thin rug the back of it is very rough you would need a rubber mat protecting the hard surface against it. Also it does not unroll well you must put a lot of heavy stuff on it for several days and even then the corners roll up. Not recommended if you’re looking for something thick and fluffy.￼￼
