Beautiful carpet, arrived tightly rolled with nice end caps to protect the ends during shipping. Took a day or two with heavy objects placed along the edges to get the carpet to lay flat without curling. The colors are exactly as shown, bold and vibrant- while the texture and thickness is exactly as described. The carpet is soft underfoot, doesn't shed and stays in place well (we have a large, heavy coffee table). We do trip occasionally on the edges and thinking of adding some double sided adhesive velcro strips to help- not sure why, this is a replacement rug and we never tripped on the other, although it was slightly lower pile. Overall, extremely happy with the quality, construction, size and price of this area rug- it's exactly what I wanted & looks great in our space.
