Pretty rug, but the packaging causes the rug to have a bulge in the middle that could not be push down. Had to wash rug to see if I could get it to lay flat, big mistake. Luckily, I washed it alone, the rug was a big shedder, my washer was covered with fibers. Being very short, 411, I have had a tough time of getting all the fibers from within the washer.
