I have been searching for a modern, neutral rug for under our dining room table. It is difficult to find stylish 6x9 sized rugs for a good price. This one was worth waiting for! It has a nice plush pile with a tasteful combination of gray, cream and black. We are very pleased with its high quality -- no shedding and lays flat without a pad underneath. It works very well with a bold print rug that's across from it in our living room area.
