I bought this rug for the kitchen because my dog was slipping on the laminate floor.  It is functional and goes well in my kitchen.  There are some gray areas in the binding where it should be solid beige which should not be there.   That,  and the fact it was not delivered on time are my only complaints.  I placed the order when I did because it was supposed to be delivered on Friday and I was leaving town for a week.  It did not come until Tuesday and sat outside for a few days.  Overall am happy with this rug in my kitchen.
