Review on 7'8" X 10'7" Gray Home Dynamix Lyndhurst Sheraton Area Rug by Jen Linares

This rug was purchased to decorate an infrequently used basement office with a slippery tile floor. While I wasn't expecting much for 25 dollars including [slowwww] shipping, the rug is a disappointment. In short, the manufacturer pushed the cost envelope a bit too far.The main issue with the rug is its very thin fabric, which causes the rug to bunch up. At first, I thought an anti-skid rug pad would offer an adequate solution. Yet, even with this measure and two 20 pound weights at the foot of the rug (underneath a desk), it still moved around and bunched up. This flaw is particularly irritating when an executive chair is rolled over the surface.At first glance upon arrival, the rug appeared to be a solid value. The geometric-with-floral design is quite nice. Unfortunately, the rug just doesn't possess a sufficient mass of fabric to behave as an area rug. Instead, it exists somewhere on the continuum between a beach towel and a legitimate rug. I have owned more expensive, machine made rugs that also employed thin fabric. Yet, they didn't bunch up quite this much because they had greater mass. The old adage, "you get what you pay for" turned out to be true for this purchase.
