It’s a nice rug. It took quite a long time to lay flat (1 week under around 50 books) and it still hasn’t totally gotten there even though we’ve had it out for a few weeks now. The corners come up too. The pattern isn’t quite as precise as I would like it to be, sort of pixelated or aged looking. I could see how that works for someone else, but it’s not my preference. Plus the beige is darker on one side of the rug than the other. It’s still a good rug though. Never considered returning it. But wouldn’t have paid full price for it either.
