I purchased the smallest rug as a sample, so I could purchase an 8 x 12 if I liked it. The color and pattern were perfect. However, the rug was thin, the backing was stiff, and the rug looked cheap. Mostly because it would never flatten out. I tried rolling it backwards, I laid heavy books on it, I even put it under another heavy shag rug that I have, for a few days and the severe ripples would not go away. I got my money back from Wayfair. I definitely would not recommend this rug even though I love the color and the pattern.
