This looks just perfect in my great room and even visually lengthens the room. Lovely High pile with low loom black accents. Soft on the feet, too. I replaced a different rug that was a long shag and tough to maintain. This is just as attractive and a lot more practical. I really wanted a bigger rug but the biggest they had was a 9x12, but don't want to ding the product for that. And it works fine one size smaller.
