Completely protected in shipping with a plastic cover that was tapped along all edges and an inner paper lining. Unfolded nicely the same day without seams. Beautiful rug, requires carpet pad as offered. Has flecks of tan that incorporates wood floor color.

I like it but a little short not long enough, but I can work with it.

Soft, like the pictures, if you get a small size you will need rug pad as it slides

Very pretty and comfy on your feet! Very nice quality and easy to clean.
