The rug came much quicker than the estimated shipping. It was well packaged and fairly easy to unravel. The normal new carpet smell was super faint compared to most so that was a huge bonus. It's exactly as it was described online. It's a decent pile height for an affordable rug and it's received compliments already. One minor stain did occur (charcoal from a stocking!) and it came out quite easily with cold water and a little dish soap. Overall it's great, a fairly straightforward beige rug with no fringe and an intricate design detail (the waves).
