It's a beautiful rug and excellent quality for the price. Unfortunately, mine came bundled rather than rolled, so there were two breaks in the backing thread and a couple of places where the bumps won't come out. I suspect this was a return item, especially as it arrived 3 weeks earlier than the date specified, but I did not receive an 'open box' credit. There was also a terrible mould smell. The friend who came to help me move furniture has allergies and she couldn't even stay in the room because her eyes were literally streaming. I sprinkled with baking soda and left it for 24 hours and this seemed to help, but the smell is still there. I sometimes drop a treat for the cat and he wouldn't eat it off the carpet. I'm very sad about this, although, as I said, the carpet is very beautiful and the colours are just what my room needed.
