I got this Dash & Albert rug for my guest bathroom.  It is very pretty and the color works well.  I was hesitant in purchasing this, not knowing for sure if it was more taupe or more gray.  IMO, this leans more taupe, which is what I wanted.  I shake it out weekly, and don't use my vacuum on it.  It's used every day by my teenaged son, and still looks brand new.  Its fibers have held up better than my Otis Navy Dash & Albert rug.  I have a nice rug pad underneath, as it's on a tile floor.  It still shifts around a bit, but that's no big deal.  Very happy with it.
