The colors of this rug are goo...but it does not lay flat.  The top layer of the carpet does not lay flat.  It is liked it has 'extra fabric' that bulges up and I cannot get it to flatten out.  I have moved the furniture to be different, tried to smooth it out, tried 'stretching' it by pulling sides, but it doesn't work.  I love the rug--and ordered the runner and it is great---but the larger rug is useless. Very disappointed.
