I was hesitant about buying online but I'm glad that I took a risk.  Love this rug!  Very plush and soft underfoot (will be using this rugs pile height for future purchases).  The background color of the rug is a cream color mix with some off white and I think it looks great against dark hard wood floors and white trim.  I would highly recommend Scotchguarding if you have pets or little one's running around...easier clean up.  This rug is a definite keeper and people love it when they see it...I think my sister is going to buy one!!!  Happy shopping :D
