This rug is great - the pile is a bit flat from the rug being rolled up, but if you run your foot over the rug a few times, it perks right back up. Another review mentioned the edges rolling up - again, from the rug being rolled. Put a heavy box/books on the corners for a few hours and they go back down.  I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 as the material is not as soft as I had anticipated; I am glad I was able to purchase this while on sale as you can find softer rugs for less than the normal price of this one.
