I bought this rug for my “senior” parents.  They wanted an area rug for their front room, but the edges are curled up pretty bad and that’s a big trip hazard.  We decided to try to place heavy books on the corners and tape the one side down.  After a week, the edges still curl up and there’s a lump in the middle that doesn’t seem to smooth out.  It’s a beautiful rug and my parents like the color, I just wish it would lay flat.
