I had given up on ever finding a rug that would work in my dining room and blend with the rug in the adjacent living room. Well, I accidentally landed on this rug when searching for a kitchen rug, and realized I should have been looking for a round rug instead of a rectangular rug for the dining room. I bought this in the 8' size and it is beautiful in the dining room. Go by the color in the customers' uploaded photos instead of the one on the web site. The background color is a slightly creamy white and the other colors of the rug pop around it.
