I have 3 kids and a dog, so I bought this to use in my dining room so I wouldn't have to worry about spills.  It looks and feels better than I expected - another reviewer said it was a bit too scratchy for a baby to be crawling on, but I have an 8.5 mo old and have no hesitation letting him crawl on it.  The color is true to the picture.  The dimensions are a little off (but I think that is normal in rugs), I bought the 7 '10" square, but it measure 7' 8"x 7' 11.5" - close enough for me.  One of the other reviewers mentioned that their rug had wrinkles from being rolled up.  I've had mine for roughly a month and there are no longer wrinkles from being rolled up - lays nice and flat.  My only problem now is that I want a new dining room table ;)
