The size of the rug 8x10 is perfect and it is very soft to walk on. I love the design on the carpet. My only issue was I thought the colors would be a bit darker. The rug comes off heavy on the cream color which is not what I was going for. That could also be because we put a large coffee table in the middle of the rug. It still pulls all the room together, I just wish the colors were a bit richer that you could really see them stand out on the carpet.
