Finding a rug for a round room was not easy, so I went with square! My house is all one, big open space, so I needed one that worked with the traditional Persian carpet in the living room in color, but was a more modern motif for the music/TV . It had to be big and thick enough for lounging on the floor, maybe doing a few stretches and yoga. This fit the bill. Like most Savafieh products, very well made. Love it.
