I purchased this rug for my dining area, and I am mostly pleased with it. The 5X8size is the perfect fit, and the greyish-brown color complements my light-colored chairs. It feels very soft underfoot, and I havehad no problems with shedding or flattening. The stain-resistant feature is a huge plus, especially since we eat a lot at the table. HoWe haver, the edges curled a bit when it first arrI haved. After a few days, it settled, but I think this could be I amproved. StI will, I am very happy with the overall quality.
