Love this area rug.  It feels silky smooth on my feet and looks beautiful. The color is as stated, a warm beige but in my opinion, it has a silvery-grey undertone to it.  I put a 1/4" thick rug pad under it then placed part of it under some furniture.  This rug is on the thin side so it has a ripple from the weight of the furniture and the rug pad, so I wouldn't count on doing something like that.  I still give it 5 stars for the quality, the feel and look.  It's a beautiful addition to the room.
