The rug arrived earlier than expected.  Packaging was prefect, kept the rug well protected.  Placed the rug on the under pad we purchased at the same time as the rug.  The rug feels great underfoot.  The colours are very close to what is pictured.  The yellow is more of a deep mustard colour versus a bright yellow.  On inspection the grey itself is made up of varied greys. The rug rolled out and laid flat immediately.  Shedding so far has been non existent. Thrilled with the purchase.
