I bought this rug for under a breakfast room table.  It was a little surprise, that it wasn't like an ordinary rug with nap.  Sort of like a bald cat.  Also the background is lighter than what I saw on the computer, & the design stood out more, all of which to say I like it very much.  Wanted a rug so the chairs will slide easily back & forth.  So I would recommend this rug for that situation.
