I’m in love with this rug, it’s gorgeous! I had some concerns about it lying flat after reading some other reviews, and in fact, it had some gentle ridges from being rolled as well as one big kink that looked pretty bad. I pulled the kinked area taught and placed some big books with 5 lb weights on them on top and I flipped my dining table over to help smooth out the gentle ridges. Less than 24 hours later, and it’s working like a charm!
