Beautiful rug. It's thick, comfortable to walk on, a beautiful gray color with a golden colored design, (NOT as dark as Gulden's mustard). I was worried that it would be a warm gray with yellow undertones but it is more neutral/cool gray. I was so happy that it is just what I was expecting after reading many reviews and second guessing myself. I don't normally like strong geometric designs but this one is classy and goes well with my transitional decor. Not only is it beautiful but the quality and the price is great. I don't have a lot of traffic in my home so I am not noticing any shedding.
