Adorable rug!!! We went with the 9x12 size, and by the time it’s that big and there is some furniture on it, the pattern doesn’t appear quite as distinctly as in the photo. In person, it reminds me more of artfully arranged Dalmatian spots, but for me, that adds to the charm. We placed it over a thick felt right pad to anchor and add some cushioning, and it’s great. Very pleased with quality and look for the price!
