Love this rug for living room. The colors are perfect - the pattern is actually a little more vibrant IMO in person than in the online photos. The gray is a *little* more of a grayish-light blue but that works for my space. The pile is soft, if a little thin, but we did not want a super thick shag. I placed weights on the corners for about a day when it came in to let it flatten out. Looks polished and stylish.
