Love this rug! This is my 2nd Wayfair rug and i love them both! Laid flat almost instantly just like the other one. The end was folded a bit so i used the red ottoman to hold it flat (right side of pic) but other than that you can see it’s already flat. Took the pics about 5 mins after laying it down. The red color in the rug matches our red chair perfectly! Couldn’t be more pleased!!!
