This rug came in just the right sizes we need to protect the floor in a heavily used kitchen. We wanted a rug to blend in with and protect the wood floor.  The monochromatic pattern is nice, not too busy.  But it doesn't have a vinyl backing so it moves too much.  We had to get a separate liner to keep the rugs in place.  Over time, I'm worried the open weave will let spills through the rug.  Clearly, this rug was designed for outdoor use, but the colors worked very well on our Hickory flooring.
