It's a rug, of the size advertised. So, it covers an area of floor about 6' x 8'.  It was delivered in fine shape, easy to unwrap, and only curls up marginally on the ends from being rolled up for an extended period of time.  Unfortunately, if you think you're going to get a deep, watery-blue looking rug like they show in the picture, you will be disappointed, as I was.  It is far lighter in color, with large patches that are completely white. By large I mean about 20% of the rug is dull white, as if the machine that made it ran out of dye for a while.  Still, once I put a coffee table on it, it will be, as I said, a rug.
