I got this rug in 9x7 to go underneath my new Kennedy 3 Piece Dining Set and it looks awesome. I trend towards the lighter rugs to brighten up spaces and realized that that's a dumb idea under a dining table, so I came across this one since the colors work so well and go with the stainless steel appliances  in the kitchen that the dining room flows into. Plus hides some of the dog hair from our border collie, which is a bonus.
