Seems I may have gotten a rug which somebody returned as it is dirty along one edge of the rug.  The edges of the rug have been stretched out and I know this rug will never lay flat.    It's a good quality rug and I like the colors but the fact that it won't flatten out is disappointing.  I've done everything possible to get it to flatten out.  I'm tempted to return it but don't want to go thru that due to my schedule.
