I bought this rug in the round shape for my teenage daughter’s room. She has tan cream carpet, white furniture, and lavender walls. I put the rug at the foot of her bed, and it’s just perfect for the space. The rugs colors are just beautiful, very rich. The rug is thin, but lays completely flat. So far, and we’ve had it for 3 months now, the edges do not curl up at all, they stay completely flat, even without a rug pad. The fibers of the rug are short and tight, and it feels velvety under foot. I can’t believe the high quality of this rug for the price. I like to change out my rugs fairly often, so I like buying cute inexpensive rugs and this rug, although inexpensive, is beautiful!!  So far, my daughter loves her new rug, it’s a lovely addition to her room.
