Great Area Rug
I love this brand. Not too thin or thick. Easy to vacuum. Great color. Reasonably priced. Over time, I’ve purchased a few with different colors and patterns and they’ve all been just right.

Nice looking rug with MAJOR wrinkling issues
On first impression, this is a nice looking, reasonably priced rug — not a genuine Persian by any means, but good value for the price, with a nice pattern and good coloration. And then you notice the wrinkles.We have had this rug on our floor for a month now, installed over a 3/8 inch felt pad. There was a series of wrinkles on it when we first unrolled it, but we felt those would relax with time. They didn’t. So I laid sheets over the wrinkles and placed 2″ x 10″ x 8′ planks on the sheets. After a week, the wrinkles were still there. So I added the weight of our 8 foot long electric reclining sofa on top of the planks over the largest wrinkle. After another week, the wrinkles were still there.As you can see in my photo, the wrinkles appear to originate with a single wrinkle near the end of the rug — the end of the rug that was rolled up first and tightest — and are repeated at regular intervals as more of the rug was rolled up over the initial wrinkle.The rug came to us with the top surface rolled up on the inside, and the bottom surface on the outside. By comparison, we bought a slightly smaller rug from the local discount/membership store and it came with the top surface outside on the roll — and no wrinkles, not even a little one. Coincidence? Lucky? A different manufacturer? Who knows? All I know is that we’ve got a pretty tacky looking rug right in the middle of our newly remodeled living room, and the return period has expired.I can’t imagine that I would ever buy this brand of rug again.Update January 6, 2016: another reviewer mentioned that he had the same issue with wrinkles in his rug when he first unrolled it. He suggested that, if I was patient and gave the rug time to relax, the wrinkles might eventually relax out. I really appreciated his advice and suggestion, but unfortunately I have not had the same experience that he did. It’s been about 2 months since we put the rug on the floor, and the 2 largest wrinkles are still there — somewhat reduced in size, but still very noticeable. I suppose I could try moving the furniture of the edges of the rugs, roll up the rug, roll up the pad and store it, then put the rug and furniture back in place, but that would be a major pain. I’ll keep watching for signs of improvement, but for now, my opinion is unchanged.I can’t imagine that I would ever buy this brand of rug again.Update on May 23, 2017: Well, good things come to those who wait, as the Brits say. The wrinkles are gone and have been gone for probably 6 months, perhaps a bit more. The rug looks good, shows no signs of wear, and is comfortable underfoot. So I guess it comes down to how long a person is willing to wait for a rug to completely relax. I’m going to increase my rating to 4 stars, with the 5th star withheld due to the long process of waiting for the wrinkles to relax, because, other than that problem, it’s a very nice rug.A person recently commented that, based on my photo, the blue color was more intense than that person wanted. The color is actually quite a bit less intense than shown in the picture, and almost more of a blue/gray.

Beautiful!
My husband and I both love this rug! It’s very comfortable and so beautiful! Not a thick pile but soft on bare feet. Very easy to maintain with pets. The colors are beautiful. The rug appears just as the picture shows it! It has been a month and the rug has smoothed out nicely!

Vivid colors, robust construction
Great color selection in the pattern, plush dense nap but thin enough to allow a desk chair to roll, it’s a little slick on the bottom so be sure to place a non-slip backing under it
