Love this rug! It took us a long time to find a rug that fit our style, was made well, and was the correct size for our cozy fireplace room. We needed something that would be comfortable yet hold up to any spills that may occur. We have definitely found it with this rug! It came rather quickly and was easy to unroll. We placed heavy books on the edges that had a slight curl from delivery packaging and within a few days the edges relaxed. Works wonderfully with the thicker rug pad.
