bought one to try for my kitchen because i will be getting more. I thought i would need a rug pad on my tile floor but it stays in place nicely. didn't realize 2'6" was a bit wider than my other runners, so i can not fit 3 like i used to have. but going to make it work with 2 rugs becuase i really love them! .
I needed a rug to go over our new hardwood floor and under our dining room set. I didn't want to spend a lot due to spills etc. The quality is fantastic and the sand color is as well and matches everything. The sand color is not too light at all. It looks super classy and I get a lot of compliments. The 8 x 5 fits well under our dining room set (table & 6 chairs).
I debated on ordering this rug. I am glad I did. It is perfect for the what I needed it for. The size is just what I was looking for and the price was right. The quality is outstanding and I know I will have this item for a very long time at my kitchen door.
