I'm very happy with this rug.  Love the colors and design.  I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this rug and was not surprised to see that it is more of an off-white/cream color than a true white.  I also had a really good pad to put under it and it feels great under foot.  We have a 100 year old house and are hoping that this will help keep a room with no real sun exposure warmer in the winter.
