It took me a very long time to decide on a rug for our dining room. This one is perfect! It's a brighter blue than I thought the pictures online show but I knew it would be based off the other reviews. We ordered the 8x10 and it's perfect for our under our table. I love that there's enough of a pattern to hide possible spills but it's not super busy. It's a thin pile but that's good for sliding in and out chairs, yet it still feels soft. I was surprised it was just wrapped in plastic. There were many tears in the plastic but the rug was not damaged. It rolled out nicely and didn't have any smells to it. We love it!
