This rug was 8x10' and for my living room.  I didn't want to spend a lot because I may be moving in a couple of years.  I ordered the charcoal grey but is more of a blue-grey.  It still works okay with the furniture so I'm keeping it.  The pile does look better once vacuumed, but it is still very thin.  Some people mentioned a strong smell, but I only thought it smelled like new 'regular' layed carpet.  It arrived very quickly so no problems with shipping.
