The rugs looked good upon arrival and laid flat on the floor until they were washed (on delicate cycle) and air-dried (not in the dryer).  After one washing the corners turned lightly up, creating a tripping hazard.  After two washings the pile has begun to fray.  I put the rugs away when company comes to avoid accidents and because they don't look very good any more.  I expected better quality at this price point.
