This rug is very cheap. And I mean both inexpensive and low-quality. When delivered, it wasn't rolled up so much as *folded* up, as it had been squished into a triangular shape. After two days of laying flat with heavy objects placed on top, it still has creases that I suspect won't ever come out. It's a nice-looking rug in terns of design, but it's not at all something to get if you need it for decorative purposes. Maybe throw it in a mud room entry or something if you need to.  

Pros: It's very cheap.
Cons: Poorly-made, not soft, won't flatten out.
