I'm not sure if it was the shipper or if it comes this way but the carpet arrived rolled and flat. It has been sitting on the floor in the front entrance for over a week with heavy traffic and it still is not lying flat. If it had arrived as a proper roll, this might not have been the case. Otherwise, it looks great and replaced another carpet that I'd use in the same spot for 7 years. That rug moved to the back where it still has some years left. Unlike the old rug, there is a fold seam on two ends. It's fine unless you have a door with little clearance under it. Keep that in mind. Yes, it's thin but not on the ends, where it is double the height. I'd buy another one, especially at this low price.

Pros: Long lasting and beautiful.
Cons: Won't lie flat
