SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
290 × 205 CM (9'6" × 6'9"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
A 3-seater sofa along the long side with its front legs on the rug and 35 cm of rug past each arm, a coffee table on the rug. It is not deep enough for armchairs opposite as well.
A 120 × 80 cm table with 63 cm of rug beyond its sides and 85 cm past its ends, so the chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out.
Under the lower part of a king bed with 54 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
