This has been my best buy yet.  The rug really does seem to shimmer yet it's neutral.  Perfect for my grey and blue bedroom.  Because of it's size (8 x 11) it was a little difficult getting it under the bed--took 4 guys with me directing--but that is to be expected when the rug goes under a platform bed. It makes a modern-style bedroom a little cozier.  I'm very happy with it.  Well worth the price, and maybe more.
