The rug arrived promptly and exactly as described. The colors are slightly lighter than pictured, with a very subtle hint of gray, but it matched perfectly in my kitchen. I use it under my kitchen table and it is very soft to walk on. I would recommend a rug pad, and rug tape for the corners if you are putting it on a hardwood or tile. Overall it's perfect! It replaces a rug I bought several years ago that cost much more -- and I like this one better!
