Loloi Teagan Collection 6'-7" x 9'-2" Ivory/Sand Area Rug - Soft Neutral Large Rug for High Traffic Areas | Perfect for Living Room, Bedroom, Home Office & Dining Room Decor

I have had the rug for about a month and it's beautiful. It's a cream back ground with detailing in a sandy beige color, a light grey, and then a darker grey which almost reads blue. The rug is soft and looks beautiful on my brown hardwood floors. Arrived on time and well packaged. Overall, the rug is in good condition and wasn't terribly wrinkled and had no offensive smell. When we first put the rug down, there were "air pockets" appearing along the left side of the rug. We found books and other heavy objects and lined them up all along the left side leaving them in place for three solid weeks over the top of the air pockets, which then seemed to migrate towards the center of the rug. This past weekend, we lifted up the rug and completely turned it so the left side is now the right side but it's now sitting under the font legs of a full sized sofa with a VERY heavy coffee table in front of the couch so the rug goes under the table to flatten out the air pockets. It looked great. At first. Now several days later the air pockets are back having escaped from the sofa and the very heavy coffee table and back to the center of the rug. It is not an optical illusion, unfortunately. Its two very noticeable good sized bubbles in the rug and it simply will NOT lay flat. This leads me to believe that there must be some type of construction flaw in the rug itself. For that, I've given it three stars. The rug is sitting on a rug pad and not directly onto the hard wood floors. I might try removing that next and I'll up date if that fixes the problem. However, I've seen a few other reviews that mentioned issues with wrinkles that won't go away in the rugs they purchased so this might prove to be a not fixable issue. AN UPDATE: We removed the rug pad from underneath the rug and put the rug back down in direct contact with the floor (no pad) and that made an immediate difference. Its been another month or so and I'm happy to report no more "air pockets" in the rug! It's laying flat like it should. I've never had a rug pad cause a problem like this in the past and don't know why that would be the case now. My heavy coffee table is anchoring the rug in place to keep it from sliding around though I'm not sure it would do so even with out the table in place. I've since bought another one of these rugs in a different color for my office with the same wood flooring, no pad underneath, and no heavy furniture on it to hold it in place and I'm not noticing that it's moving around much if at all. I've upgraded my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. I am very pleased with the two rugs I've purchased at this juncture. They are both beautiful and worth every penny of what I paid for them. One other note of importance: my wood floors are not slick and shiny. The finish is more rustic in appearance and not shiny. Depending on your floor finish this may impact the level of rug movement you get with no pad. I recommend using the triangular corner rug anchors you can find on Amazon for about $10 to combat slipping if you find you need something.
