This rug has taken almost a week to flatten out around the edges. Secondly,its not at all comfortable to walk on with bare feet. Thirdly, it still has a weird smell lingering on after a week! The only good thing about it is that the bottom comes with a lining.  I guess I have a completely different taste than those that have given full five-star ratings for this item.  I do not want to bother with the hassle of return, so Im keeping it, but its definitely not worth the price and I regret buying it.
