We purchased this rug in two different sizes, and they didn't fail to disappoint: 1)  They had a "distressed" look (just what we didn't want), even though some of the photos didn't give that appearance. 2)  They were VERY thin. 3)  We couldn't get them to lie flat, even though we put some heavy items around their edges for two weeks.  We don't know what to do with these rugs because they're too dangerous to use. Our advice to anyone considering rugs like this:  Don't buy them - they're cheaply made, dangerous, and a waste of money.
