Ok I love this rug. BUT my hubby thought the dog made a mess on it LOL... But I love it in my dining room the colors are great with what I already have in there and the overlay of the lines pulls together nicely with the open air accents I have between that room and the front room (open metal grid patterns on my lamps and end tables) I think it looks great! laid FLAT! has what looks to be a non skid bottom... awesome! when you throw a dog toy.. the rug doesn't come up and the corners aren't curling...  I'm very happy with it.
