This area rug is GORGEOUS. I bought one for my home office, and I unrolled it in the living room when it arrived. I loved it in the living room, but I had just bough a new living room rug. I put this in the office as planned, and continued to think how nice it would be in the living room. I broke down and bought a larger one for the living room. I don't regret it at all. It laid down nice and flat within 30 minutes and is so soft and comfortable underfoot.
