I bought this rug in a 4 x 6 for my foyer and I love it! The background is a little lighter than I thought it would be, but it turns out that it looks better on top of my dark wood floors.  I like it so much, that I am going to buy this rug in a larger size to anchor my two sofas in the living room.  If you are looking for a thick rug, then this one is not for you.
