Rug is exactly what I expected from reviews: pretty pattern, thin (which I'm good with for the sake of my robot vacuum, and it's in a low traffic area), and wrinkled like crazy. I let it flatten on its own for a while, then tried ironing one side with steam and a towel as a barrier. I can't say that the ironing did anything at all; the other side of the rug actually lays flatter. I've had this for a few weeks and it's almost flat. Complements my reading nook nicely.
