I have been searching for a rug for our dining room for months, upon months, and could not be happier with my choice! I had originally thought I wanted a plush rug, but took a chance on ordering this even after reading it was thin. The rug arrived and was thin as expected but also a bit rough in textured. The pattern was nice and big (width wise is half a diamond, then two full & then another half on the 6x9) beautiful updated, clean look! Turned out to be the perfect look to tie in our rustic wood dining room table with our nicer black china cabinet. Plus as it turned out being thinner allowed the chairs to move easily while the other rug we ordered (plush and yet being returned!) was hard to slide & pull back in the chairs. The grey is a beautiful neutral grey with a blue undertone....will definitely be easy to decorate with! Love it and highly recommend it to anyone considering it!
