It fits nicely under our table and chairs. If we pull the chairs back, the back chair legs go right to the edge of the rug, if not slightly over. I'm a fan of the size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817776 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:58:08 +0000 hilsy85 1817776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is 8x10 and it's honestly a little small. The legs of the chairs at the head of the table come off when pulled out. </p> <p>It should fit so the legs are all always on the rug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817684 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:16:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1817684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 by 9. The guest chairs are stay on the rug wether they are pushed in or out. The host chairs stay on the rug only when the chairs are pushed in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817681 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:16:00 +0000 looch 1817681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: That is exactly how ours is. For the corner, is it tripping you up? I would think you'll get used to it eventually, but I feel like lopping off a corner would look even stranger, unless you did it to all 4 corners? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817679 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:14:26 +0000 regberadaisy 1817679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: there's <i>maybe</i> a foot from the rug to the wall. And one corner comes into the natural travel path of the kitchen area into the living area. Hate that. </p> <p>We love the rug and DH suggested cutting that corner and rebinding it but I'm not a fan of cutting the pattern off. It's not a repetitive pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817677 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:13:33 +0000 Shutterbug 1817677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this same dilemma. We went with 8x10 because part of the reason is wanted a rug was that we were scratching the hardwoods with the chairs. It's a little too big, but I don't mind it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817675 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:13:16 +0000 Weagle 1817675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think ours is 9x12. Our chairs are all the way on the rug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817673 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:12:24 +0000 looch 1817673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why do you feel it's too big for the dining area? </p> <p>Ours is 9x12, chairs are on the rug when they're pulled out from under the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-area-rug-under-your-dining-table#post-1817666 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:08:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1817666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how big is it?</p> <p>Do your dining chairs sit on the rug? Off the rug?</p> <p>We laid a 8' x 10' down under our dining table and I love that the chairs will be completely on the rug. But it's way too big for the dining area. But if we go down to a 5'x8' then the chairs will be half on and half off. Which will be annoying and unlevel. </p>
