This is a nice mostly wool rug (gold is not wool) that is very dense and plush. The grey is actually green-grey and blue-grey mixed, so it will go with a variety of grey tones. The quality and pattern give it an upscale/sophisticated feel. One key note that downgraded the rating from 5 to 4 stars: it is NOT exactly 8x10 as advertised - it was 4 inches shorter on both sides, which made it look a tad too small for our space so we were pretty disappointed  when we laid it all out and realized something was off!
