I bought this for my bathroom and am very pleased with my purchase. I was looking for a gray-colored, distressed patterned rug with a low pile so that my door would open and shut without getting stuck in the rug.  This one worked perfectly. The background color is a bit darker in real life and there is a bit more cream in the pattern than I anticipated. However, it is still a really nice neutral/gray colored rug.  It's also soft while being on the thin side. You will definitely need a rug pad if you intend to put this on hard wood or tile as it slips easily.
