This is a nice runner for the money.  The web site did a pretty good job of giving you an idea of the colors in the rug.  There was an insert from the manufacturer about the wrinkles in the rug and to be patient and let the rug settle out.  I've had it about a week, still have ripples. I'm going to have to figure out a way to get something heavy on the ends to try to stretch these out.  I suspect this is more of an issue because of the 3x12 runner size. Most of my other large, area rugs from Wayfair have gone flat easily.  I still think this is a nice rug for the money.
