Very nice rug! I bought the 9x13. Came folded but lay 95 flat immediately. I did use carpet tape to stick down one corner. Some mild off-gassing that waned after a few days. This is not a mat with a printed design- it has actual pile. Very soft, does shed some but that was expected. Colors are true to the pictures - cream base with beige, gray, rustbrown, burgundy, olive, blue, and black. I wanted something that would work with a variety of colors and this fits the bill. It is a quality product at a fair price.
