I bought the 6x9 and smaller one for by the door. They are thin especially when I use to having big shag rugs. I have been through 2 200 shag rugs in less then 1 year. My dog has ruined with getting sick and accidents (big ones) on them. I opted to stop buying shags and try this washable kind. The pattern is very neutral and goes well with our decor.  Hopefully it lays flat and hopefully holds up to animals.
