This rug was just what I needed in the space. I purchased the 7'10" x 10'6" in Slade Blue, and the colors are absolutely gorgeous. I was worried at first that there would be too much gray and not enough tan, but I was pleasantly surprised when it had the perfect balance. It feels soft under your feet and it's not too thin, but I would recommend a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping if you don't have furniture on it to keep it steady. Now I want to upgrade the rest of our tired furniture to complement the rug. Very pleased with this purchase!
