As others have said it is very thin which works very well as I layered it over wall to wall carpet. It seems to be exactly what I wanted assuming the folds relax. That is the only issue I have with the carpet. It came folded up for ease of shipping and after two weeks some of the folds are still there, not allowing it to lay flat. Other that that it is exactly as described and pictured with various shades of gray and off white making it go with many color schemes
