The pattern of this rug very lovely, great to look at. The rug is thin however, and after being rolled up for so long it will not lay completely flat. It has ripples throughout. I have flattened it for about 3 days underneath a larger rug with heavy books on all four corners and for a couple of hours it looked like it had worked but slowly the ripples came back. You get what you pay for with this rug. I would not recommend this rug.

Pros: lovely pattern
Cons: does not flatten, visible ripples
