The rug works perfectly for us.  It is the size (10x10) and style we were looking for in our square dining room.  It is on the thin side and would require a pad, in my opinion, but for the price we expected that.  It appears lighter over all than shown in the picture but we still like it. It feels well and tightly woven.  Edges are not getting caught on feet or popping up.  We are happy!
