Like the area rug very much,  the design and color are great,   there is an issue with the manner in which it was packaged for transport,  folding it in half is something that should never be done  (also adding an extra 4 inch fold at the end was totally unnecessary)  so now the rug has a large bend in the middle and then an extra bend at the end,  it takes a lot to fix or allow those issues to work themselves out,  applying weights or heat or anything else takes time and effort.
