I was looking for a soft high-pile rug to put in our nursery for comfortable play on our hardwood floors, and this has hit the mark! I needed a color that would help tie together our pale grey walls, white trim, and oatmeal rocking chair upholstery which this color definitely achieved. I was skeptical due to the reviews that stated the color wasn’t what they expected, but I am incredibly pleased with this purchase! We only needed to do a bit of counter-rolling of the edges and corners to get it to lie flat.
