This is thinner than I expected, and thinner than any rug I have ever purchased. I don't plan to go through the trouble of returning it, but you should know what you are getting. I like the color to help hide dirt given that we use it for a garage entryway, but it is so thin that it does not lie completely flat even after one week. Small wrinkles pop up regularly. And it is very difficult to vacuum as any vacuum cleaner suction pulls the rug tight against the beater bar, not allowing the vacuum to roll across it. We have many small rugs in rooms of our home, including long runners like this, and none of them has these problems. They are much higher quality at a similar or lower price. When this wears out, I will replace it with a different brand / style of runner.
