Thanks for sharing these guides. They are very helpful. I’m just a bit confused about the dining room sizes. An 8′x10′ rug was used for three different size tables/chair #’s. Which rug sizes are recommended since only one of them can be a 8×10.

Thank you Heike for pointing out the typo. Two are improperly labelled and should be 7×9 and 9×13. I will have my graphic designer edit. Thanks!
