My rug arrived a few days early which is always nice. The rug came rolled and nicely packaged; the packaging was easy to remove. I had to place something heavy on the end of the rug what was tightly rolled to get it to lay flat, and it did within a few hours. The color of the rug is more of brighter blue than navy, but my son loved it anyways. It is super soft. I would buy another rug in the future.
