The rug met my expectations. I give a "4 Star" rating due to the packaging for shipment. Rather than receiving the rug rolled on a tube for shipping, it was folded and shoved into a box. This resulted in creases that I am finding most difficult to smooth rendering the rug unusable so far. I would highly recommend shipping area rugs rolled around a support tube as I have experienced in past rug orders from other merchants. Thanks, Steve C.
