I needed an inexpensive version of this rug that was low pile for my office chair - and this has fit the bill perfectly. You can see from the photo that it's cream but still looks great with all the white I have going on already. It's definitely not the softest rug, very synthetic feeling, but I didn't have the budget for the more expensive version which I know is much softer from feeling it at my friends house ;) It's perfect for my office/guest room!
