While very satisfied with the quality of this pad, the actual size was 7'5" - it was ordered for an 8' round rug which also turned out to be 2" short so while it's 3" short all the way around, it is close enough that it still works. Had the difference been bigger I may have returned it for the size, but not the quality - this is the 5th pad I've ordered and they've all been great quality, this is the first one that was off in size.
