This rug is beautiful! The colors are true to the picture. When I first unpackaged the rug I was worried because the edge of the rug that was inside the roll was very curled. I left the rug alone and in a very short while that edge and the other roll marks had visibly relaxed and were laying much flatter and the overall appereance of the rug was smooth. Soft under foot. and Did I mention that it is BEAUTIFUL?! Love it!
