It's a very beautiful bright cream color rug (no dreaded grey cast). I thought it was going to be a low to medium pile, but it's pretty thick. That's a plus for comfort, but not very good for high traffic areas. I always take my shoes off before stepping on it. 
Vacuuming it is not as easy as a low pile rug, and that's the only downside. 
It does not shed and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. Especially for the price. Highly recommend!
