Love this rug.  It was exactly what I expected and the size fit perfectly in our kitchen dining area.  It looks really nice against the dark wood floor.  I chose to use this as an indoor rug as it is durable enough to withstand our little dog's playful ways.  It's also easy to clean and vacuum.  But very stylish and doesn't shed like our other area rug which is more plush but messier.  I'll be replacing that one with another.  You will not be disappointed!
