This area rug arrived on schedule and was packaged with layers of heavy plastic, so it wouldn't be damaged or dirty.  When I unrolled the rug, it laid flat on the floor and did not curl at all.  The thickness of the rug is very plush.  I am going to purchase a rug pad for it so it doesn't slide on my ceramic tile floor.  I am completely satisfied with this rug, and will purchase more items from Wayfair in the future.  They proved to be a reliable company.
