I wanted a rug to put under our kitchen table that was durable. The table is near our two dogs' dog door and is an area they walk on often. I was specifically thinking of an indoor/outdoor rug for durability but wanted something pretty too. This rug is the perfect combination of durable and pretty! It is a heavy material and feels expensive. It is softer than I expected, which I like. The color is great too, it is the perfect golden beige and cream. So happy with this!
