We actually really like the colours.  The white on the pictures are not that white actually.  The white is more of a beige colouring which we prefer.  The white would be terrible to keep clean.  What we really don't like is the backing on the carpet when placed on a non carpeted floor, is really quite slippery.  We are going to need to put some kind of backing down to prevent the area rug from moving around so easily.
