This works perfectly! Love the unusual size of 8.5 ft round since 9 ft would be too big for our breakfast area and 8 feet a bit too small. So I Just ordered 2 more smaller size for in front of our sink and stove. Flat weave best for kitchen use. I also ordered thin waffle pads from Wayfair ‘Basics Hold Nonslip’ for under these rugs but haven’t used yet. Very happy! Thanks Wayfair!
