I am so pleased with this rug! The color is cream with raised chevron pattern, outlined in a darker grey. It is heavy enough that vacuuming is a breeze, and light enough to make moving it alone do-able. The quality is decent for the price. You don’t have to get a rug pad, but I like a softer, plusher rug experience, so I’ll likely get one. Overall this is a great product for someone who wants a cute and affordable area rug for their living space.
