Rug is huge and features a low pile (important if you are unsteady on your feet like my mother in law, or if you have pets who shed a lot)
I love the green and black color scheme, but was sold by another reviewer's comments regarding the pattern. It does in fact show a wolf or similar creature attacking a deer of some kind. This image is repeated through the pattern. It is fairly subtle, but is a fantastic conversation piece with our irreverent friends and not feminine like so many common, floral patterned mass production rugs I have seen. 
Rug laid almost completely flat even after having been rolled up in the corner for several months. Corners were just a bit lifted which was corrected by laying a flattened cardboard box over each corner for a few days.
Not a luxurious, handmade wool rug, but a great item for heavy traffic and coverage of a large area.
