I love the colors, and it arrived well packaged so there was no concern to damage in transit. Once I opened it up it did not take long at all for the corners to flatten out. 

So far I have not noticed the excessive amount of shedding that other people have identified as an issue. I bought the runner to confirm I liked the colors/etc before paying for the 9 x 12 area rug, and will likely buy the area rug. Thank you Wayfair for having such great products and delivery!
