I needed an area rug to cover my concrete floor and block out my living room in my loft-style apartment. I selected this rug to go with grey and greige tones and act as a grounded neutral. I needed a big area rug but hated sisal although it seemed sisal was most budget-friendly, so I tried this one and was not disappointed.
It arrived quickly and tightly rolled and rapped with a cardboard rod in the middle, which they used to roll it securely. I placed it on top of a rug pad to keep it securely in place and add more cushioning, and sat a few heavy items around the perimeter to make it lay flat. Then I sprayed it with Scotchguard Carpet Protector Foam Spray to make it more stain-resistant, given my dogs immediately decided this was their new hang-out spot. Now it feels good walking on my floor, even without house shoes, thanks to this rug that seems to match everything well.
