Overall, this is a fairly nice quality rug.  However, the color on this rug is cooler, and more silvery than pictured in the photo.  I almost returned it, but decided it will do until I find something better.  It hardly seemed worth the trouble of returning as it was on sale and not very expensive (3x5 rug).  I also had some problems with flattening the rug.  After two weeks I tried the method suggested by another reviewer--cover the rug with a beach towel and use a steam iron.  It worked; took about 20 minutes.  I was sure glad it wasn't a room sized rug or it could have taken hours!
