For an inexpensive rug it looks marvelous! I found the color to be quite close to the photo, maybe a tad lighter, but still works where I planned. As for the wrinkles, I used a top quality anti skid pad and my husband & I stretched the carpet over it. Seems to be flattening out well, now. Yes, we will probably have to pick it up and re-stretch it a few more times over the next few weeks, but I am optimistic the bumps will eventually work themselves out.
