I ordered this rug after a total disaster with my first order from Wayfair.  I gave them another chance and I am glad I did.  This rug is quite thick, but not too plush or soft.  I have had no issues with shedding, smell or creases.  It unrolled beautifully.  It is truly a powder blue-gray.  My walls are Sherwin-Williams Silvermist which is a powder blue-gray and, depending on the furnishings, can appear to have a slight pale green tint and it matches beautifully.  The colors are subtle with the red being the only color that clearly stands out.  The price was really good for the quality of this rug.  Everyone who has seen it loves it and they can't believe how thick it is.  I would buy this rug again.
