I'm so happy with this rug, the colours are really gorgeous and it looks exactly as pictured. The size is great for our hallway as a lot of the other runners I looked at were a little narrower which I think would have looked odd. After having this rug for only a few days it is laying mostly flat, the only thing I did to help it was put some heavy cookbooks on each corner for the first couple of days, one end is curling up very slightly still, but it's not really noticeable and I am confident that it will sort itself out.
