This is a very pretty neutral rug. It adds a bit of elegance and femininity to our simple bedroom. The color of the rug depends on the time of day and how the light hits it. At times it looks bright white, but most of the time it looks beige and cream. We have a craftsman style home with lots of dark wood, which could account for the beige tone we see quite often. This rug helps brighten the room up and is very clean looking. It's also been easy to clean. Vacuums great without snagging or shedding and I've easily removed mud that been tracked onto it with a little carpet cleaner. One star off because calling this medium pile seems too generous. I thought it would be thicker based on the information given. I measured with a tape measure and my 7x10 rug is less than a 1/2 inch thick. The fabric is soft, but it is not a cushy rug underfoot-you will still feel your hard floor. You'll want to add a rug pad for some more comfort.
