This rug looks perfect in my dining room. There are two spots on either end of the rug where they are flat, it looks like maybe the circle wasn't cut perfectly and edges of the square are visible for about 12 inches in 2 spots around the circumference. The rug offgasses for a long time, so I would unroll it and leave it somewhere like a basement or garage or even outside. I hope it goes away eventually. Other reviews have said it was scratchy, and that's true. I would liken it to feeling a bit like an extra soft toothbrush? It's definitely not plush. But I don't really sit at the table often so I don't have an issue with it.
