I don't like the tile in our kitchen, it has grooves in it and you can never keep it clean. But DH doesn't want to remodel, because tile is technically "nicer" than a laminate replacement. So I got this rug, circular 6' works well under a small table and 4 chairs in the breakfast area. I really like the sage color, it has soft ivory and tans, a little deep red and some darker outline so the pattern shows, but still soft and pretty. It arrived quickly and easily, it's flattening daily, and I'm happy with the weight. I've sprayed some Scotchgard on it to protect against spills. The price, ease of delivery, and attractiveness of the rug are all great.
