The jury is still out on these rugs.  I bought 2 smaller ones for each side of our queen sized bed and I've yet to put them there.  They are currently "on trial" as I test to see if they lay flat.  I think because they are hand-woven, there is a fair bit of rippling on the long edges of the rug.  Sometimes this happens because rugs are rolled so tightly, but these seem like they've been over-stretched a little in the weaving.  I want it to look great (and the weaving IS great, very thick and neat) but I feel like it needs something heavy to hold it down right now.  I may be returning it in a few days if it doesn't settle down flat.  Too bad though, because it's really very nice and the ivory colour is perfect.
