This is a really cool rug that I have on top of the apt. carpet in my bedroom! I have received tons of compliments on it because it is not quite a traditional chevron rug. The color is definitely like a slate blueish grey and cream, not a true grey. But that is more what I was looking for so that is why I picked it. The print is great because it is noticeable but not annoying or over the top. It does shed a little but no big clumps like some rugs do, just a little on the bottom of black socks. It is also really soft. I walk around on this rug bare foot and my dog picks the rug some night over his bed for sleeping. I would recommend it to a friend!
