This is a nice rug; we bought it for the different shades of yellow and gray to complement the nursery. However, what looks like dark gray in the pictures, is actually more of a blue colour. Disappointing, but not enough to make me want to go through the hassle of returning it. I was also hoping it would be a little softer, but it's not too bad - it's comfortable, but not luxurious. It seems like it will be durable and hold up over a long period of time. Overall, we're happy with it - it is really pretty.
