I love this rug! The colour is exactly as pictured. Grey and beige tones. It’s a cotton rug so it’s definitely thin- but that was expected but what cotton rugs are. The material is really cozy and it looks rich. A rug pad is definitely a  good idea- we got one that adds bit of cushion and no slip. It seems like good quality and made out of a nice material and Is a beautiful colour. Overall very very happy with this. We are using it in our living room and it adds the perfect texture and colour to the space!
