I ordered this rug to go with my newly painted green walls. The rug arrived very securely wrapped. Once unfolded, it was beautiful. The colors are vibrant. I was concerned about the pink border, however, even though it is a hot pink shade, it is only a small strip and actually accentuates the other colors very nicely. If you intend to use this in an open area, over hardwood, I recommend a rug mat underneath, or it will move. I placed mine under the legs of furniture and a coffee table, so it is perfectly fine. You will not be disappointed. I love this rug!
