The weave to too tight in places and this rug does not lay flat on the ground. We have put it in a room that does not get much foot traffic because of this issue, but may even get rid of it all together. It is such a tripping hazard! The smallest movement of a chair or scuff of foot wrinkles the rug and a makes a "bubble" that everyone trips on. It is not the heavy woven rug that I was used to in say, my grandmothers home. This is much lighter. I would not recommend this product.
