Its so cute, and softer than I thought.  It pretty much looks as shown in the photo, except the grey variegated parts are a bit darker than I was expecting.  Pretty much it's just more variegated overall than I thought it would be. I guess I was expecting a more uniform cream color.  But it looks great! It also is super slippery on my wood floor, but I just placed a non-stick pad underneath and that fixed the issue. I love the way it feels under my feet and my cats are enjoying playing with the tassels :)
