It seems to be excellent quality for what it is -- an inexpensive synthetic rug featuring a modern take on a traditional pattern.   I just put it down and it's already lying flat.  It's on top of the Premium Area Rug Pad; together they provide a very nice cushion on top of a hardwood floor.  The very pretty blues in the rug are very similar to what I saw on my monitor.  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it looks a bit shiny (and thus more synthetic) in some lights.
