I purchased this rug to put over new dark flooring that was just installed in my foyer and living room. I wanted it for the foyer entrance, so I ordered the small size. I love it so much, that I am now planning on purchasing this same rug in either the 5x8 or 6x9 size for in front of my couch and fireplace in the living room. I also bought the pad to go underneath it to protect the flooring and for extra cushioning. Wayfair.com gas best products at best prices. Have more items being shipped as I write this.
