This rug is exactly as described. I noticed another reviewer mentioned it looked a little blue-gray, but the color is straight-on silver to me. I t has enough pile height to look "fluffy", but it is short enough that our office chairs with quality casters roll very easily on it. The fibers are very soft and I find myself taking my shoes off while I work so I can feel it! The rug is not deep or cushioned much. But that is not what I wanted so our desk chairs would still roll. I suppose if you wanted you could add a soft pad underneath to add cushion.
