I took a while to pick this rug because I wanted to it coordinate with another rug that I bought from Wayfair. The first rug is the Aftonshire Rust red and Blue patchwork rug, and I bought this one to bring out the yellow of that one. It does it perfectly! I have the other rug in my living room and bought this one my dining room. It's a great fit under our 8 person table as I read that your rug should be 2 feet bigger than your table, and it's true! the 8X10 is just right! The yellow is a soft yellow but not pale, and the pattern shows just enough to be interesting without being overwhelming. The back is not rubbery at all like the Aftonshire one but because our table and chairs are sitting on it, I did not feel the need to buy a nonslip pad, but if it was a free standing rug, you would want one for sure. I did not realize it when I bought it, but when it arrived it was labeled as colorfast, water resistant and shed resistant which is perfect for the dining area.
