I ordered the 8ft round. I put it in the dining room and have a rectangle table that seats six on it. This rug is Very light weight and didn't lay flat. I put down the rug underlay so it wouldn't slip mainly because of the wrinkles in it. I've had it about 2weeks and most of it has flattened out. Most important the edges all around are flat. It is a beautiful rug but, if you are wanting a rug with a heavier weave this one probably won't make you happy.
