This is a great rug! Seems to be great quality as I have one in my kitchen and one in my entry and so far they have held up great...especially being in high traffic areas. The pile (if that’s what you would even call it) is very low, almost smooth, but I actually like that feature. Right out of the packaging it laid flat w/no wrinkles which is nice but just know that you will need a rug pad as it slips on hardwood. I gave it 4 stars only because I think the colors in the photos were alittle off. The colors in the rug are lighter and brighter in person, especially  the blue in the center of the rug. It’s more like a robins egg blue then a slate. Otherwise it’s a great rug!
