I like the subtle grey and cream undertones in this rug, it’s neutral and has a subtle statement. Recently painted our entryway and wanted to make the first room you see welcoming. The rug came folded which is fine as it’s flattening. The yarn is in soft and thankful no factory smell. The pile is as described, not thick but the padding helped a lot as I expect it to get a lot of miles. I am very pleased with the price and overall quality.
