I like this pattern very much. The background off-white or cream colour from one of the photos is actually more of a soft taupe but I am ok with this since white/cream can get dingy really fast. Taupe is a bit more forgiving. It is quite a thick rug and lovely underfoot. Warm rich colours. The “yellow” colour in the first photo is only in each of the four corners and a soft yellow, not obtrusive as is shown in some of the photos. It’s is a good rug for the price.  I really like it so far. It sheds right now but that’s normal. It will settle down with vacuuming and time.
