It was really hard to find a rug for our nursery. Our dog has ruined several other rugs so we really wanted something wool so it could withstand to kids and animals. We were going to get the 5x7 but decided to get the 6x9 and I’m so glad. The other one would have been too small and made the room look awkward and the 6x9 wasn’t much more. It is light in color so it might still get dirty but at least it won’t fall apart. I think it’s really adorable, well-made, and was less than half the price of other rugs of similar size we were considering. It also arrived a day early!
