I was skeptical of buying an area rug online. After a long search I found this rug. It had the navy and red colors I needed for my home color scheme. The rug arrived within 3 days, rolled and covered with heavy plastic. Once unpackaged it rolled out straight and flat. The colors are deep and vibrant and exactly what I wanted. The 7x9 size is perfect for an average dining room table. The rug is thick, doesn't shed, and it stays stationary without the need for an under pad. The rug is odor free. I am so happy with this rug I am ordering another one for a different area.
