This rug was exactly as pictured. Came rolled and well protected through it's shipping process. I have it layered over a cheetah print rug in my bedroom to tone down the animal print. Ordered the larger size and positioned it partially under the foot of the bed where I have an accent bench. I would highly recommend this rug as it laid flat due to the rolling. Great for breaking up a busy print that may be slightly overwhelming anywhere in the home or great piece to cover outdated flooring. I forgot to mention it's priced very affordably compared to other online websites.
