I am always nervous to make a purchase online as I often receive something that does not arrive as it appeared in the pictures. However, this rug exceeded my expectations (I did not have high ones since the price seemed too good to be true). But lucky me -- this rug is lovely. Almost exactly as it is appears in the images -- I'd say the grey is a shade more blue-ish grey than a true grey as it seems in the images but only slightly so. I am very happy! You can't beat the price.
