I bought this rug for my foyer.  It arrived in great condition, and I was able to roll it out and have it flat in a few short days.  The design is as pictured, but the colors are darker than what is pictured (as all things are not exactly the same color online as they are in person, so I can't be surprised by this).  The texture is soft and very pleasing on bare feet!  Despite the darker tone to this rug, I kept it, and am enjoying it.
