I wanted a 10' square rug that would highlight my round glass dining table and this is  perfect ! I was hesitant to order a high ticket item on line that would be physically challenging to return, but the quality and appearance of this rug made that a non-issue. Common in new carpet, it does shed at first but regular vacuuming for a few weeks alleviates that. Looking forward to seeing how the room will come together once the new chairs arrive.
