I wanted to love this rug more than I do. The photo online is accurate. The colors are beautiful and understated. The rug, however, is quite thin. I have a thick rug pad underneath, and that makes it very comfortable. The rug is very soft. Because of the thinness and the way it was packaged, it has yet to lay flat. I would buy it again because I like how it looks in the space, but I will need to spend some time researching how get the creases out. The rug it replaced was in a similar price range and laid flat immediately.
