I bought this runner for my bedroom.  It arrived promptly, as do most items I have ordered from Wayfair. Since it was tightyly rolled it was scrunched up on the ends.  I put some books on the ends and it seems to be straightening right out.  There was also some lumpiness from being rolled up but that too is relaxing out.  The rug is soft, not too thick, not too thin. I was pleasantly surprized by the color.  It first struck me as a white carpet with purple.  Very pretty. It is a nice soft purple with white. I have dogs so this would not be a good carpet for a high traffic area.  My dogs are only in my bedroom to sleep during the night so that is NO problem.
