This is a really nice rug. I ordered the 7'6" round rug to go under my 48" glass top dining room table on top of Berber carpet. The 8'6" might have been a slightly better size, allowing the chairs to push back and stay on the rug, but my room was too small.  This rug sets off the dining area beautifully and the color ties in perfectly with the seat cushions on my bamboo chairs. It has a nice soft smooth texture and with chair gliders my chairs move pretty easily. The cream thread pattern contrasts nicely with the terra cotta and the design creates depth and interest. The border is separated from the center by a cream line. Although the border appears to be solid terra cotta, it too has barely visible cream threads providing interest. Parts of the edges are a little ruffled, but I expect that to lie flat soon. I'm really glad I got this rug. It is perfect for my purposes.
