The rug was not a perfect rectangle--it was misshapen, and it had a crease in it from the way it was folded for shipping that would not come out after weeks (I even tried to steam it out). I wished I had returned this rug before it got spilled on (and it is IMPOSSIBLE to clean--the spot got cleaned, but then there was a larger mark left from the spot cleaner). This rug should only be used in an area where there is no traffic of any kind.
