We are having to redo our kitchen due to a recent flood in our area. I wanted the kitchen to reflect sort of a french feel, so I went with this rug to go under the breakfast nook area. I was not disappointed. The colors are beautiful, and much thicker than I thought it would be. It's a keeper. By the way, I bought four new chairs from Great Offer Stock. They are black with white script, and they are perfect together.
