I have a kitchen that is divided in half by a Peninsula counter.  I wanted to make sure to have the 2 halves to be brought together.  Our floors are 257 yr Old wormy Chestnut very beautiful but her dark.  I needed rugs that were both light & dark, and I didn't want to cover the floors completely.THESE RUGS LOOK GREAT.  They did exactly what I wanted them to. Love Wayfair
