Although this rug is actually lighter than it appears (I would call it light tan, not tan; maybe even beige or a dark cream), it works to our benefit since the room where we are using it doesn't have much natural light. It is the exact weight and pile height I was hoping it would be. This was my first purchase from Wayfair. I am very happy with the shipping speed and my new rug and pad.

Pros: Very nice pile height.
Cons: Not perfectly rectangular -- it is off probably 1/4 - 1/2 inch.
