Love the rug! I have seen pictures of this rug where it was very rumpled looking so I had some concerns. Our rug was delivered with a hole in one end and it was raining. Unfortunately the delivery person placed it in a spot where it could get wet and it sat there for 2 days (delivered to wrong place). We opened it and dried it out and everything was perfect. We place books on the end that was curled and it straightened out in a day. The rug looks perfect just like in the picture. Very happy with this purchase.
