The rug pattern and colors are very nice. Definitely not a plush rug. Shipping was as expected. Plastic packaging was intact. Not sure if this rug will ever relax and lay flat on the floor (yes, books and furniture were placed on the corners and edges to help uncurl - hardly helped).  It was wound tightly and stretched in order to ship - the ends of the rug are not straight edges because of this. Wish I was happier with this purchase.
