The quality of this rug and the pad are very nice. I was pleased with how carefully they were wrapped for delivery. Given the internet photos of this particular rug, I thought the colors would be more cream and white contrasting with the blue. I was very surprised that the background was actually grey. I remember seeing in Wayfair's ads that you cannot guarantee color exactness. Even though the rug is grey, it still works in my room and I'm happy with it.
