I'm very pleased with this purchase. This area rug was just perfect for the room I put it in.  The colors are just as pictured, very soft and subtle gray tones. One end of the rug did want to stick up due to being rolled for shipping, but I just put a few water bottles on that end overnight, and in the morning the rug laid out perfectly flat. The carpet vacuums well, and doesn't shed at all. It is thin with a short nap, so if you want some cushion, you may want to put a rug pad underneath.
