I love how it looks on the wood floor in my kitchen but am disappointed that although the sides have binding, the ends are not bound.  They are folded under and attached (glue, tape, sewn?) to the body of the rug.  I'm hoping it is temporary and will settle down more but it appears this additional bulk lifts the ends up just enough for tripping as we have repeatedly experienced.  In summary, they look great but can be a safety hazard.
