Very very thin rug but the look is beautiful. If your hoping for soft under the feet, you will need a pad. BUT that being said, the material is very silky on the feet...just not thick! It is much lighter colour difference in person which I was happy about. The colours are true to a light grey/silver and a white. I wouldn't call it cream or beige at all. Quality for price is good and cleans up nice when the kids spill things on it!
