I have had it a few weeks and it came rolled up but it laid out flat with ease, no edge curling. The colors are true to what the picture shows, only prettier! It is soft. It is a short pile rug and easy to vacuum I haven't noticed any fraying or shedding the edges seem tight. It is tightly woven so it is going to hold up well. It is also stain-resistant. We recently remodeled our family room and it adds a beautiful pop of color to the whole room.
