We really love this rug! We have 3 young kids and so we needed to steer clear of a white/ivory rug. The gray of this rug is still very light, but will hide dirt (so necessary in our family!) The chunky weave is beautiful and the rug is soft under our feet. If you are wanting to bring some cozy into your home, this rug will do the trick. My only complaint is that the wool sheds quite a bit. However, from my research on wool rugs, they shed a lot at the beginning, but this fades with time. Hoping that's true!
