Besides being sent the totally wrong rug the first time, Wayfair sent out a replacement very quickly & we were extremely pleased with the quality/look of this rug.  The main colour of the rug is a nice cream-ish white & the pattern detail colour is definitely more on the grey side versus gold tones but totally soft & pleasing colour.  Rug is thick under our feet, making it perfect for the baby's room & hasn't shed at all yet.  Love it!
