over the years I've purchased some similar rugs at even some high end stores that do not 'lay down' correctly -- they curl up at each and every corner and never seem to work -- no problem with these (I ordered two) and I love them! -- They are perfect!
It is a high quality, beautiful rug. It is not slippery at all on the hardwood floor. I ordered 30"x 50" to use at the entry from garage to our living room. And the size is perfect.
My husband was concerned that the natural color would become dirty easily. It turns out not that bad, and it is easy to clean.
I really am enjoying my new Fern Border Rug. The weave is tighter then some throw rugs and keep my dog from catching her nails in the rug. Only time will will tell how they wash and hold up, but after 3 weeks I am still very happy with this product.
