This is the perfect size to put in front of a full-size washer and dryer with a bit extra on both sides. The weave on the rug is a black and darker cream texture mixed. So the cream area has flecks of black in it and opposite on the black. The black still looks black but the cream sections looked darker than I wanted. It is more of the texture of an outdoor rug since there is no fluff to it at all. I first wanted to send it back since I was looking for more of a black and whiteish cream. But it started growing on me so I kept it. Still serves the purpose in the laundry room.
