This rug is soft & plush.  I have this under my family room furniture so it stays in place without a pad.  I like the variation of this rug, it will hide dirt & spills.  The colors of this rug are ivory, black & gray.  The pic makes it look more white than ivory.  The processing & shipping were my issue's with this rug, took them 5 days to prepare for shipping, never showed up on the delivery date called wayfair...said they would upgrade to two day shipping...never showed!  Finally received it.  Hope this company gets their shipping kinks worked out.
