After looking at 200 rugs I finally decided to get this one. I love it! It's truly a woven rug. I didn't have to use any tape underneath it to hold it down. It laid out nicely after taking it outside and letting it air out. Sprinkle baking soda helped a lot too. The colors are true to the photos. It's pretty light colored so we can already see the grubby spots. We helped solve that by adding a small rug by the front door and taking our shoes off at the door. The quality of the rug is evident and I am happy that I decided to go with this rug. I didn't want s cheap printed $95 rug that needed a pad and corners taped down. I would buy it again! I kept thinking I would use tape just to make it safer but it lays flat because it's heavy enough and no one has tripped on it after having it for 3 months.
