We are very happy with this rug, it is just what we wanted for our family room. The pattern has a natural/handwoven look and there are just enough flecks of ivory scattered in the gray to make it look slightly distressed. The color is true to the item photo, though I would describe it as a medium gray, and the ivory gives the rug a warm tone. The pile is very short and soft. We put a thin memory foam pad underneath which adds good cushioning but leaves the surface firm enough for our kids to easily push their cars and trucks around. An attractive, functional, and affordable choice for us! 

A few other things: There is very mild "new carpet" odor which I expect to fade shortly. The online description lists the material as 85% polypropylene, 15% polyester, but the label on the back of our rug says 100% polyester. We purchased the 10' x 13' size. Ours measures 13'1" x 9'9".
