This area rug is very nice! 
The colors are just as gorgeous as they look on the sight . It was folded in half and then rolled up so it is still flattening as it settles. (2 weeks ago)
There were a few long threads that we carefully removed as they did not appear to be runs and imposed no issues . 
We purchased the mesh-type pad to put under it which gave  this rug  nice amount of padding and it feels good  under your feet.
We likely will be enjoying this area rug (9x12 ) and are happy that  we purchased it .
