I ordered this rug in beige  9x12.  The rug arrived today.  I read the posted reviews so I measured it before placing it in our dinning room. It measured 8'8"x12'4", which was fine for our room.  The color was not what I thought it would be.  It is more of an off white and grey taupe.  In one of the reviews I read, the customer turned it over used the back side up. I know that sounds at bit crazy but  I did the same thing and I love it !    Not sure how well it will hold up but our dinning room gets very little traffic.  The color is now exactly what I wanted.
