I did not expect this faux rug to be perfect, however there are a couple things I'm disappointed with. Upon receiving this rug and laying it out, it would not lay flat. There were areas that were bent and some bumps in the rug. I had turn the carpet around on the tanned fabric side and iron the kinks out using the lowest steam setting so I wouldn't burn the fabric. Second, this carpet sheds like crazy! I vacuumed the carpet in the direction the hair was facing as I was scared my vacuum would be too harsh. After the first round of vacuuming, I think most of the shedding subsided. Before vacuuming, I could rub my hand across the rug and the acrylic hairs would begin to pile up. I only paid *** total for this large rug so overall it's decent for the price, just don't expect it to be soft or perfect upon arrival. I see myself purchasing a new rug in a couple years.
