8 x 10 would be best, but turn this one the other way before you buy a new one, or turn the table. 9 x 12 is going to be too big. I have a 13 x 13 dining room and it has an 8 x 10 rug. To be honest, if I had to do over, I'd get a round table!

Can you try rotating the rug?

i don't know where my brain is these days...i rotated and it's perfect. thank you!!

Ideally the rug is 4ft wider and longer than the table. So 8x10 should be fine. But you need a quarter turn on that rug or on the table, as the chairs are falling off.

Haha, can you post a photo of the new configuration?

I like your soft country finish, and with the rug!

Turn it.

Optimal is for the rug to be 36-42" bigger than the table top all around, so chairs don't fall off it when pulled out and sat in. Rug should also stay clear of baseboards or any furniture on the walls.
