This rug is plush and quite sturdy for the price. Actually much more so than expected. I read mixed reviews on color not as expected. For me , it looks exactly if not better than photos on line. I’m using as a runner in my kitchen. No problems w getting it to lie flat. No problems at all. Quite impressed. I’ll add a photo soon. Definitely worth the money. Great value. I don’t like to spend a lot on rugs...dogs, kids and I kinda like change. This one may hold up for a few years.. we shall see. After all, kids will be out in ~2 years!!!
