I was silly enough to be disappointed when I first opened the package. All rolled up, the rug looked nothing like I imagined from the photos I meticulously looked over online. For some reason, the jute stood out more prominently than I realized.

Fortunately, I unrolled it and took the whole thing in and wow! I LOVE this rug. The mixture of colors, the texture, the shape. It is great from afar and close up and adds a nice pop to my space. 

Unrolling was super easy and it took less than a day to relax and flatten out. I did put some books down on one end that was curlier than the others, but honestly I think it would have done fine without them.

Definitely pleased with my purchased and glad I took a chance on this rug!
