I had had 2 smaller rugs in my dining room but wanted to create more coherent space with one bigger rug, I'd looked for a long time and finally settled on this rug. Others mentioned that it arrived in a box (not rolled up as one might expect with a rug) and that it held creases in the fabric. That is the case here also, but the creases went away pretty much the next day. For the money, it's a good choice, although I'll need to see how it holds up to cleaning up cat barfs, as I have 2 long hair cats...but overall, I am pleased with the color, texture and look.
