He was fast and well packed in a large, square cardboard box.
The color I would describe as a slightly shiny bronze-brown. They match the color of the item image nevertheless broad agreement.
Although the carpet smells chemically and also leaves scent marks on the skin if you touch it. But he smells my feeling anyway to not more stringent than others, since such carpets were indeed impregnated principle. The smell is also certainly disappear in the next few days a little and be completely gone at the latest after the first "bath" scrubbing.
Disadvantages: It can not be machine washed and is slightly wavy (see other review.). The latter will hopefully interpret completely soon. It is my opinion of synthetic fibers. Therefore, probably the slightly shiny appearance (see above).
For the price (under 20,00 EUR) and for this in my opinion beautiful look but a good buy!
Addendum of 22/06/2015:
Meanwhile, all waves have disappeared - and the initially rather strong smell (so) it is!
