I wanted to be bold in my kitchen and already had some black accent pieces so i thought this rug would be perfect under my table--and it is!! I bought a round rug and its perfect for my (seating for four) table. Beacause it does not have a non skid backing it was easy go move around (with the table on it) until i positioned it exactly where i wanted. Its easy to vacuum. The one thing to note is that, of course, it is delivered rolled up so will need a couple days of stretching out to get it to lay well. You will not be disappointed with this rug--it adds class and a bold 'pop' to a room!! Oh and delivery was surprisingly quick!
