I purchased two of these traditional area rugs in different sizes.  I used them both to cover our newly installed wood floors. One is in our dining room and one is in our living room.  They are beautifully designed and give our rooms a more formal feel. I was a little disappointed however, because the colors were darker than their online pictures. The blue is a dark navy instead of what I thought was a royal navy blue.  I still am very happy with them.
