We purchased the 7x11 rug and absolutely LOVE IT. Looks just like it does in the pictures and it laid flat in no time, including the tassels! I was a bit concerned that our knock off roomba wouldn’t get along with the tassels but it hasn’t been an issue! If I really wanted the rug to be even more plush, I could put a pad under it, but I feel like it’s just fine without one. We have this in our master and are so happy with our purchase, plus, you can’t beat the price!
