I purchased this rug in 2 sizes - the 5’x7’ for my living room and the 7’x9’ for my dining room. I’m very impressed with the quality of these rugs for such a good price. I watched the video on the item page about the best way to get them to lay flat and followed those instructions and I didn’t have a problem. They laid flat after the first day or so. They seem pretty well-made, but I have them in a low-traffic area of our house, so I can’t say for sure how they would hold up to heavier use.
