   It’s as it looks, but it’s not very soft.

   I bought this for a cheap rug to cover flooring in an apartment because I have cats. So I didnot want to spend much, and to it’s credit – it was cheap. Softness, pattern matching picture, solidness – all perfectly fine. Not exceeding expectations, but acceptable.

   The bad:
   This rug will absolutely not stay flat and ‘bubbles’. After a month of heavy boxes all over, I got copious amounts of rug tape. About 2 weeks in and it’s still bubbling. It’s past return date, so I’ve just resolved to accept it. I will regularly retape dangerous edges when they start to come up/trip people. (I feel like this thing should come with orange caution cones!) Initially, I wanted this in my dining room, but there’s absolutely no way it would have been safe with four legs poking at it and making the bubbling worse! It’s now on the living room under couches and the corners are near edges of room that doesn’t see as much human foot traffic.

   Unless you have magic rug-stay-flat abilities, are using this to cause an accident with an elderly roomate, or wrapping a body in this thing… probably not worth it.

   3ish month Update: I made the mistake of shampooing this rug when I cleaned the carpets. We are basically back to square 1 with the rippling. Positives: the cats LOVE scratching it, so… I only half-heartedly scold them when they claw it instead of their scratchers. I am not taking another star because I bought it at $50 and it is a giant flooring protector for cat claws. But I update for those wondering about shampooing and if the higher price tags are worth it. Your call, but I maintain it’s best if you’re a sadist looking to watch someone faceplant.

   It has been 5 weeks and it’s still crinkled up from it being rolled up. I’m just giving up hope that the carpet will straighten out.

   When one reviews inexpensive (cheap) products, one needs to approach star ratings with that point in mind. What this is not is a twenty-five hundred dollar, hand knotted, imported area rug. What this rug is, is an inexpensive, machine made, budget minded area rug which is imported from Turkey and the five stars given takes the above into consideration.

   First impressions: It looks great on the floor. Since it’s very thin backed, it does need time to relax when first unrolled. We’ve had it for a week and it’s settling into place nicely. There’s still evidence of the little humps an area rug of this type gets from being rolled up tightly for shipping purposes. The rugs, without trouble, have been vacuumed using a battery operated stick broom as opposed to a full size, plug-in upright. I’ll take one of the rugs out to the patio and let them sit in the afternoon sun and see if that helps the rug humps relax a bit more.

   General thoughts: We bought three of these area rugs. The two we’ve so far received were the smaller (3’7″ X 5’2″) rugs. The larger 8′ X 11′ rug should arrive the end of next week. Before installing (moving furniture) we’ll be sure to give it some hot patio sun time. The blue coloration seems fairly close to the online image we saw on the monitor but the rose hue was more of a golden/dark straw coloration. No biggie as the colors work in our living room. We purchased these rugs for their blue/white base color. I’m making note of this coloration point as it may make a difference to some. To me, this is not a deal breaker as the rugs, irrespective of the minor coloration difference, look great on the dark laminate living room flooring.

   Insight: We’ve been buying and replacing area rugs for many decades. We’ve purchased area rugs at all the traditional big name department and hardware stores so my following comments reflect this buying experience. I find with rugs of this kind, yes, price does make a difference. The main difference found, is the overall thickness of the product. As you walk on this rug with bare feet and transition to a thicker (more expensive) area rug, you can easily feel the difference. We chose these rugs for both available selection in design and price. Before buying on Amazon, we stopped into the orange, big box hardware store where we’ve purchased many area rugs in the past and what was available was limited to area rugs that were not large enough and there weren’t any corresponding, matching smaller sizes. The alternative to what was readily available was to hit the hip, go big and put in a special order at five to seven times the price of what was available; $750.00 – $1150.00. Yes, we’re retired, budget minded shoppers and this too needs to be taken into consideration in the case of a review of this kind. So after shopping big name stores, it was off to Amazon where the final price for the three purchased area rugs was a rounded, more affordable, hundred and sixty-dollars.

   If later, you want to punch up the overall feel (thickness) of the area rugs, you can, at additional expense, add anti-slip pads. Use keyword “rug pad” for an Amazon search. Yes, this increases the total price but remember, for us, it was about available color/design/size/price and overall, this was the best we could find to match our budget minded shopping/home designer needs. Padding, at additional cost, can be added later as funds become available.

   Lastly: We’re careful users of products of this kind so in my opinion, after a limited week of use, we expect to get many years of use out of these rugs. As long as one is aware of the differences in trim color between monitor vs in person and that this is a noticeably thin backed product, for the price, it’s a great purchase we feel looks great on the floor and a purchase we could make again in confidence.

   Hope the above helps.

   (PS: We received the 8′ X 11″ rug. The stated size on the product label was: 7’8″ X 10’7″. We left the area rug in the direct sun on the backyard patio so as to heat both sides via the Summer noonday sun. After about two hours in the sun, once both sides were thoroughly heated, we then brought the area rug indoors for installation. In the short, the rug laid down on the living room floor perfectly. Very happy camper.)

   I bought this rug To make it through the winter without my feet getting cold on our Howard wood floors. It has made it two years and still looks great. It does occasionally bunch up and it did take a few months for it to “unroll” but all in all it was well worth the price.

   My husband’s office is not very attractive. I bought this rug because it really went well with the kind of warm aesthetic that looks well with computers, but isn’t so chunky that it messes up my husband’s desk chair. I think it makes the room far more attractive. It is light weight, but heavy enough that it actually stays on the ground. I was looking everywhere for a non-faded pattern rug and found this one and could not be happier. Only thing is I wish I bought it in a bigger size. It doesn’t shed. It feels soft enough. Really would go great anywhere just buy it!!!

   I really wasn’t expecting much, but the rug looks as good as any rugs I’ve bought for hundreds of dollars. I like the colors and the thickness. I will order more for this low price. The rug will look amazing after the wrinkles are gone.

    This rug is inexpensive in the world of rugs. I needed a large one that would be going under two drum kits. I did not expect a luxury item for the price but it looks great when I opened it up. The colors look just like advertised. Yes it is thin but I’m not surprised for the price and because it’s so thin it is wrinkly and doesn’t stay rolled out at the edges but I am sure it will flatten. It has small imperfections but at the price I paid I don’t really care. My parents saw it and asked me to order them one. I can’t write to durability but for my needs as of right now I am pleased. The posted picture is when I immediately opened it up to view it.

    This rug is really pretty. It’s quite thin, but it’s fine with a pad under it. It is also plenty soft on the feet. The blue is a shade darker than in the pictures, but it could also be a contributor that I don’t have as much sunlight in my room. I liked it enough to order a second one!
