After months of searching for the right area rug, this was the one I got! I'm loving it and think it is perfect for my apartment space. It came un damaged and pretty quick. I unraveled it and let it air out for about 2 days to get rid of the new rug smell and let it flatten out. I even added heavy object to the corners to speed up the process and gently fluffed up the shaggy part to make it look like the photos. It's super cute! I also added a rug pad for extra cushion which is lovely. Highly recommend
