We love the rug, we bought the beige option and it actually has more grey to it than beige, but the colours are vibrant and the pattern is cool and it really stands out. Already got approval from the guests last night. The texture is unusual with high/low pile design, it is soft and of really decent quality. You will need a gripper if you are looking to place in on the hardwood floor. Our travels around the room, so looking to buy a gripper....
