The base color is more beige than white, but you can read that in the other comments as well. Three stars are actually for the fact that I got a carpet 30cm narrower than what I paid for. However, I decided to keep it because it looks - in terms of design - exactly as on the picture and it fits my room well. Regarding the width, I called wayfair and the person I talked to was soooo nice and polite and offered me that I either send the carpet back and get fully refunded, get a new one with the right dimension, or get part of my money back and keep the smaller carpet. I am really satisfied from wayfair’s customer service - one of the best!
