Rug is stiff and rough underfoot (accept for the raised part is softer).  More importantly it is not beige at all - it is white and gray tones with maybe some cream (again on the raised portion).  The coloring in real life is not at all how wayfair pictures.  I was expecting it to be more of warm tones with gray but it is a very cool toned rug with much more white/gray color variation then pictured. Returned...
