I was very excited about this rug after reading the reviews. I purchased the rug as a stop-gap measure to improve the flooring option in a kitchen that had old indoor-outdoor carpet. Perhaps the problems we have encountered are related to the surface it is sitting on but I think it is more likely caused by high traffic in the kitchen. On the very positive side, as the other reviewers have pointed out, the colors in the photo are not as vibrant as they are in real-life. I appreciated its verve. Unfortunately we have experienced two problems. First, the rug moves. The material it is made from is quite slick. The problem is that the rug "cups" on the short end. As the rug has been used, the center of it has expanded slightly and the sides where the binding are tighter and have not expanded. Thus, the corners are pulled more tightly and thus curl up. We have learned to accommodate the rug by pulling it back into place on a daily basis and trying to keep the curled up ends under cabinets or at least away from the main working path. We also flip it regularly which seems to even out the cupping some. I think I could recommend this carpet if it were not going to get a lot of foot-traffic. For example, it would probably be great under a coffee table.
