I put this 8X10 rug in my den.  This rug was the perfect fit for color of office furniture and wall color.  Given the light traffic that will occur in this room I think this carpet will hold up in the long run.  I probably would not advise putting this rug in a high traffic area as it is light in color and would probably stain and discolor rather quickly unless it was treated.  This rug is much lighter than appears on the website.
