I am really pleased with this rug which I bought for my kitchen. I bought the smallest size and had no trouble with it laying down flat. The color (wheat) is true to the catalog/website and did not have that odor that other reviewers have mentioned. It looks very sturdy and I expect it to last quite a while.
I have ordered more than one rug from llbean and have been pleased with all of them so far. This rug replaced a rug that had torned apart in a short amount of time. Already, I am impressed with the plushness and weight of the rug. It is heavy enough that the edges won't curl up like my cheaper rug.
I have it by the back door which has already gotten a lot of traffic with two dogs, 3 kids and their friends. It has held up well and is easy to spot clean after muddy paw and shoe prints. I'm saving up my money to order the same rug for the front entry in the 5 x 8 size.
