This rug works well with my chocolate colored couch and light blue walls in my living room although initially it looked grey to me.  With 2 cats, 1 dog and kids that spilled milk on it within 24 hours, it's the perfect combination of beauty and practicality.  Overall, very happy with the purchase; it really tied the room together.    

Pros: Great value and no shedding
Cons: can't think of any
