FYI, some sites restrict it since it might be used inappropriately, and could offend someone that has spastic cerebral palsy.

There usually aren't as many rubber floor coverings in B-210's as in Darts though.

I've done some pondering and have come to the conclusion that they are called "oriental" rugs because they slip or bunch up and re-orient you.

I really don't know if this helps but one would still beat the 40 year old multishaded worn out green junk on my living room floor in this old rental house.
