This is such a beautiful rug and looks far more expensive than I actually paid!  My dining room laminate floor is medium oak and this rug is going under the table.  I ordered the 5 x 7 which should just come beneath the front legs of the chairs and show both rug and flooring to its best effect.  I am seriously considering ordering a runner for upstairs, as well as a small area rug for the foyer (even though it's not an 'outdoor' fabric).  It's just so pretty!  No regrets and all smiles here!
