The area rug in a 5x7 is absolutely beautiful. In large sizes, definitely recommend. In small sizes, not too much. The design pattern changes significantly. I purchased two, one for the living area and the other for the front door. The design on the small rug is barely noticeable, still on the fence about whether or not we're keeping it. The large area rug gets many compliments and once it's smoothed out it is lovely.
