I hunted for a rug for my dining room for close to a year before I found this one. It is perfect! My dining room chairs have a pattern and the dining room is a large space that is also living room, so I needed a pretty neutral rug, but I didn't want to go totally boring with just 1 color - tan - so this rug is good. I was a little worried that a rug that is suitable for outdoor use would be too casual for my dining room, but I needn't have worried - it looks great! It's also sturdy enough that I know it would be great outdoors too. I've had it out for many months now, and while it has now been spilled on 2x, it has no stains. It looks great and Waaay more expensive looking than what I paid! I highly recommend it!
