This rug is absolutely beautiful. The design fits so well with the rest of my decor and the size is just right for my living room. We had no problems laying it out and it layed flat right away. It is thick and high quality. It is also plush and soft and my toddler loves laying on it for nap time. I love that the design is forgiving, as well. My daughter has spilled a few things on it but you couldn't tell. It also cleans very well which is super important in our house with a little one and a pup. I'm very happy with this rug.
