Bought the 5 x 7.5 to go under a low dining table as we eat sitting on floor pillow/cushions. This is perfect, it is soft but not too soft, not scratchy at all. Will hide pet hair and slight spills or crumbs well. Easy to vacuum and doesn't seem to shed much. The colors are definitely more separate then blended, but I like the kind of geometrical abstract look of it. What's weird is when you go to photograph it yourself it shows up blended like it does online.
