I had doubts, but rug looks very nice and contemporary. Looks perfect with grey Reingard Motion Reclining sofa and love seat set from Wayfair. It is grey and beige with some white, low pile. Did not smell bad, but does needs to relax for day or two upside down after shipping. Ordered larger available size for living room. Couch and a love seat fit fully on top of it with room to spare. May want to get under pad for wood floors.
