I wanted a smallish floor rug to break up the wood flooring. I have an open floor plan and the colors in this rug are matching with my other decor.  Very nice feeling rug good pile andexpensive looking.  I placed a skid mat underneath and some heavy books on the corners for about a week to flatten the packaging curl.  Afterwards, it stayed nice and flat at the corners. I really do love this rug and the way it fits into my home!
