I love this rug. I purchased a 5x8 and it came rolled. It rolled out easily and flattened almost immediately after we put it in place. The color is exactly the color of the picture and the pile is so soft and luxurious. If they had it in other colors that I could use I would order them for every room in my home. The cat loves it too and he can't scratch it (because it has no closed loops) like he did the previous wool rug that he ruined!
