You don't need to pay for a rug to cover a spot no one sees.
Recommended Rug Sizes:
6x9' or 8x10'

Stick with a layout that has the rug extending beyond the chairs for this room, else the chairs can tip over when pushed back.
The rug should extend at least 36 inches beyond all sides of the table, but no less than 24 inches. Chairs must sit on a flat surface, even when pushed back.
Recommended Rug Sizes:
9x12' for 7-Piece Dining Sets
4' to 6' Round Rug for Bistro Sets

Recommended Rug Sizes:
8x10' for Queen
9x12' for King
