This rug is perfect! I was really nervous about the fiber content and that it would look cheap and have that glittery appearance that man-made fibers can have. It doesn't at all. It has just the right amount of plushness underfoot. The colors expressed in the photo are pretty spot on. If anything I would say in person it is a bit more beige than gray overall, but the accent colors shown are representative of the actual rug. It also has zero off-gassing smell which is great. It unrolled nicely, one end had a slight upward curl but putting some furniture on either corner for a day fixed that right up.
