We originally planned to use this rug in the dining room.  However, when it arrived, it did not fit well in the room so we changed our plans and used it in the living room instead.  It looks fabulous!  Since it is an indoor/outdoor rug, it is very easy to clean--important with children and dogs.  The color complements the furniture and paint color on the walls.  The texture is very soft which our toddler loves.  We are all very pleased with this rug and the outdoor rug pad.
