I was happy when this back ordered rug arrived earlier than expected. It relaxed quickly so that it lays flat. There was a slight order which  I think was more from the packaging than from the rug, but that dissipated right away. It has a definite texture under foot. The description adds grey to the color way, however, there is little grey in the weave. It would feel more plush with a carpet pad under it. It is well made and I’m pleased with the purchase.
