Wow!  This rug is just as beautiful as the pictures online represent it.  I put it in my jewelry working studio and it is gorgeous.  I have it over ceramic tile and it has really brightened up my work space and it is much warmer than the tile and muffles the sound of hammering!  Although it was folded on arrival (which was very fast) we simply rolled it for a couple of days and it lies nice and flat.  I would highly recommend this rug...it has every color imaginable!
