A very nice and durable cotton rug. I like that the color is not just a flat gray but several tones of gray with white. It gave it a more contemporary feel. It is 100% cotton and certainly durable. It is soft – probably not for a formal type of space. I have placed the rug in my California room and it just looks perfect for the space. It really helped to anchor the space and made it feel like it was a seamless extension of my living room
