This rug is very thin, and needs a rug pad underneath. The other two issues that are awful about this rug are they did not cut the rug straight along the pattern, which means the whole rug looks crooked and lopsided because of that. The second issue is they fold it up tightly and pack it in a relatively small box, which stretched the rug in places, and they will not smooth out. I have had it laying out for three weeks and there are four areas that will not lie flat, so there are bulges in it.
