I bought this rug for my dining room, it is perfect for the location because we have a large table (over 7 ft length), and also the dining room has a sliding door which gets used frequently.  The rug is indoor/outdoor so spills clean up easily and the foot traffic from outside should not cause permanent stains and excessive wear and tear.  Love the Colors, the grays and creams pare nicely with the small amount of black in the boarder.  The rug is thin and slick enough that my heavy dinning chairs glide right across it, without having to lift them in and out.  Just put the rug down two days ago so it need a little more time to completely flatten out but it looks better each day.  Totally happy with my purchase of this rug for this space.
