JUST layed it down, but it seems to be good! It needs to "un-roll" itself, which seems like it may take a while since it was rolled pretty tight, but that will happen with most any rug. It is whiter than expected, but it is pretty true to its online color. I have included some of the color/pattern variation. It is very unique which is what drew me to this rug! It is also very soft, even though it is not a thick rug. I think I will like it!
