I wouldn't recommend this rug. I thought it would be free-flowing fibers, but instead they are knappy! If you brush it it looks better but who wants to brush a rug?! The color is true to the picture - yellowish ivory, but the texture looks different in person. It also sheds. Not a rug to dig your toes into or to make you feel good just from walking on it.  Definitely not worth the $150 I payed for it!
