I began using this rug in June. It started out bunched up in the middle, but friends and family assured me that over time, it would flatten. Six months later, the rug is just as lumpy as ever and my partner and I are continuously tripping over it. For nearly $300, we tried to put up with it as long as possible, but it is a hazard in our home and we have to get rid of it. I’m terribly disappointed by the poor quality of this rug that could have had so much potential if only it laid flat.
