The 5x7 is perfect for my guest bedroom. Even though the descriptor is 'gray' it has enough dark navy in it so it isn't too cool or formal.  It ties my other shell decorations in the room together nicely.  It has been a little slower to flatten out than the other rugs I've gotten recently, but could be in part because there's not as much traffic in that area.  I did buy a 1/4" eco-plush pad to go underneath.
