You pay for what you get is my motto and I should’ve listened to myself when making this purchase. Needed a 9x12 rug and this rug was under 200 and it shows. Shipping and delivery was quick. But the rug is very very thin, no cushion at all to it. Using all my cookbooks and heavy objects to get the crinkles out and it’s been 2 weeks and still not much improvement. The pattern and design is nice but the wrinkles are horrible. The black is a true black and the white is a creamy color. Maybe this rug would be better if a small more manageable size. If you need a cheaper rug then this rug can do the trick, just need to curb your expectations.
