It's perfect for the space. Have had it less than a week and have already received 3 comments on how nice it looks etc. I highly recommend. I bought the runner and am using it on finished natural hardwood floors so I did purchase a rug pad to keep it from slipping- works like a charm! Added plus- hard to tell when it needs vacuuming because of colors, having two children under 4 and a dog that sheds a ton, this is a major plus!
