Gorgeous!! I am thrilled with this rug. The subtle pattern goes perfectly with our dining table. The rug arrived folded but now lays flat.   It is heavy and appears to be very good quality. Other reviewers had reported a strong odour but I did not experience that at all. It does shed somewhat. I vacuumed the rug and emptied the vacuum canister (Dyson hand held) five times before moving the table on top. It is still shedding lightly but nothing major. The color is taupe with cream and grey. I would absolutely recommend this rug.
