Everyone loves this rug, and plays with it with their toes. Contrary to other reviews, I don't find it lighter than the picture. If anything, it's darker. It's a mix of silver with lighter and darker gray threads. I found it unrolled fairly easily, but I got a round rug so there were no corners. One can feel the rug structure underneath, but it doesn't bother me. I will likely get a rug pad eventually. Shipping was fast and easy.
