This is  very beautiful rug! While I was concerned after reading some reviews on it not rolling out flat and being rather thin, I knew that going and didn’t expect a plush shag.  I actually ordered the rug and furniture at the same time however because the rug arrived so quickly it allowed me about a week to let it settle. Yes it is thin and yes there were some visible creases when I initially unrolled it but now it sets beautifully on my hardwood floors. I was also pleasantly surprised with the color fade, not too dark and not too light plus it definitely changes color depending on which angle your vantage point is at. Something to consider when you place it in a room depending on which version you prefer.
