I had no idea how hard it would be to find the right area rug for my new space! I finally settled on this design, and first tried a circular rug. Knew I loved the texture — robustly thick, soft to the touch yet sturdy, and seems well made — but the circle wasn’t quite big enough for my needs. With the 6.7x9 out of stock at that time, I had to wait almost 2 months with just my rug mat as a proverbial bench warmer. Finally it came and I am so so happy! My cat loved it right away, as well.
