Just redid kitchen - white cabinets,maple floors, etc.  Using this rug under a wood and metal table.  Looks great.  I bought 8 ft square plus small rug and runner. The smaller ones are much busier.  Design on large rug is very spread out (not busy).  All goes well together. Not scratchy on feet. Figured it would be practical in kitchen, plus i have 2 large dogs so i dispose of rugs very frequently.  i really love the look.  Its a vertydark tan, with black.  very nice.  Just had it 2 weeks so cant comment on durability.
