This rug arrived 3 days earlier than expected! It is a nice off-White color and the darker gray pattern is beautiful. I also love the details of the braided tassels on the 2 edges. I love the plush feel when I walk on it; makes me feel so cozy! I did put a rug pad underneath for some extra comfort and thickness. The new carpet smell was pretty strong initially, but it did fade away after 3-4 days. This rug has great value for the price and I would definitely recommend this rug!
