love the design of this rug! so fun yet simple and calming to the eyes. its white but not too white, like a nice off-white, slightly cream white. i love the thickness of it as well, not too thin and not too thick. it feels nice underneath my feet and really tied my family room together. feels much warmer! the only thing im worried about is i have 3 dogs who are well potty-trained by now but they do make the seldom mistake. hope this rug will be forgiving of stains!! =) im feeling hopeful about it.
