I got this rug to replace the rug that had gotten chewed up (AGAIN!) by the puppy in our dining room. The 8'X10' size fits the space well, but I will admit I probably prefer the 7'6"X10' size option since that tends to look a bit more rectangular than square-ish. Other than that, this is honestly like a dream rug. The black and gold color scheme is really unique and awesome. It just looks super expensive and amps up the class of the room quite significantly. It makes a huge difference in the room and grounds the table and the entire dining room into a more sophisticated and adult feel. I couldn't be happier with the pattern and colors.
