This rug is pretty, is exactly as pictured, and I have no complaints. It works for the purposes intended but if I were making it a centerpiece in a room where I wanted to squish my toes into it, I might want this pattern/color in a higher pile version. I needed a low pile for my purposes, and it is pretty and neutral enough (and cleanable!). However, it is really thin and usually the cream rugs are better in less trafficked areas, and the the thin rugs are better in high traffic areas so the mis-match of those practical elements in this rug only works if you know what you are getting in to! For me, it works, but I could see it also being disappointing if you wanted something light and fresh to dig your toes luxuriously in to.
