LOVE this rug! It looks amazing in my living room. As you can see in the picture when I first unrolled it and laid it on the floor there were some hills in the fabric and it wasn't quite laying flat. I thought I would have to buy a rug pad for it so that it would sit flat but after a couple of days the rug settled and now appears completely flat against the laminate flooring. The only thing that surprised me was the colour of the rug. From the photos I expected it to be stark white however it happens to be more of an offwhite/ivory. It bothered me a little bit but at first but now I think it's probably better that it's not quite so bright - just something I thought would be helpful to add for those who are really specific about colour matching.
