This area rug was purchased to go under the coffee table in my living room. It's perfect and covers just the right amount of flooring. My only regret is that the material is very hard and it almost seems like it should be on a patio. The colors are adaptable to just about any color scheme I have in the apartment so I can move it to another room when I'm able to afford a wall to wall carpet. I would recommend this rug to anyone with a smaller area to cover because it has a subtle elegance that will class up any room.
