It's a treat to walk barefoot on this rug; I absolutely love it.  It's inexpensive but looks luxurious. The sizes it comes in are perfect for runners on the sides and front of my bed.  You probably wouldn't want it in a high traffic area or in an entryway where dirty shoes would get on that long "fur," but it's ideal for a bedroom.  The color is actually a dark bluish grey, which works fine for my room but beware not to expect a warm grey tone.
