Lambertville Plush Textured Washable Rug | Cream

Bright white, won't lay flat and misshapen squares

I wanted to love this rug but it just looks cheap. The fabric is the type where it changes color based on the direction the fibers are going in. This gives the appearance of perpetual dirtiness. The white is also super bright, I was expecting more of a soft cream. Lastly it refuses to lay flat and looks lumpy in places it shouldn't. It's been out for a week and I'm scared I'm stuck with this appearance. I have dogs and a kid so it will probably have to get replaced anyway. Just feeling disappointed.
